Suppose that each child born is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. Consider a family with exactly three children. Let BBG ind

icate that the first two children born are boys and the third child is a girl, let GBG indicate that the first and third children born are girls and the second is a boy, and so forth. (a) Use set-roster notation to describe the elements in the sample space whose outcomes are all possible genders of the three children. (b) Write each of the following events as a set, in set-roster notation, and find its probability. (i) the event that exactly one child is a girl set probability (ii) the event that at least two children are girls set probability (iii) the event that no child is a girl set probability

Answer:

(a)

S = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, GBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, BBB\}

(b)

i.

1\ girl = \{GBB, BBG, BGB\}

P(1\ girl) = 0.375

ii.

Atleast\ 2 \ girls = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG\}

P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = 0.5

iii.

No\ girl = \{BBB\}

P(No\ girl) = 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Children = 3

B = Boys

G = Girls

Solving (a): List all possible elements using set-roster notation.

The possible elements are:

S = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, GBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, BBB\}

And the number of elements are:

n(S) = 8

Solving (bi) Exactly 1 girl

From the list of possible elements, we have:

1\ girl = \{GBB, BBG, BGB\}

And the number of the list is;

n(1\ girl) = 3

The probability is calculated as;

P(1\ girl) = \frac{n(1\ girl)}{n(S)}

P(1\ girl) = \frac{3}{8}

P(1\ girl) = 0.375

Solving (bi) At least 2 are girls

From the list of possible elements, we have:

Atleast\ 2 \ girls = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG\}

And the number of the list is;

n(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = 4

The probability is calculated as;

P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = \frac{n(Atleast\ 2 \ girls)}{n(S)}

P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = \frac{4}{8}

P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = 0.5

Solving (biii) No girl

From the list of possible elements, we have:

No\ girl = \{BBB\}

And the number of the list is;

n(No\ girl) = 1

The probability is calculated as;

P(No\ girl) = \frac{n(No\ girl)}{n(S)}

P(No\ girl) = \frac{1}{8}

P(No\ girl) = 0.125

The cost of painting a wall that is 5 meters wide and 212 meters tall is $50. How many square meters can be painted for $1?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

21.2 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is base • height.

So:

1. Calculate the area of what you can get for $50. 5 • 212 = 1060 square meters.

2. Now you divide the first price ($50) by the desired price ($1). This one is easy because 50 / 1 = 50, but I'm putting this here for future reference in case you need to solve a problem that has a desired price that's greater than $1.

3. Divide the answer to step one by the answer to step two to get the area you can have painted for $1. 1060 / 50 = 21.2 square meters.

Let f(x) = x2 and g(x) = x - 3.<br> Evaluate (gºf)(-2).<br> A. -20<br> B. 20<br> C. 7<br> D. 1
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

D. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find g of f(x)

g(f(x)) = (x²) - 3

Step 2: Plug in -2 as <em>x</em>

g(f(x))(-2) = (-2)² - 3

g(f(x))(-2) = 4 - 3

g(f(x))(-2) = 1
