Answer: Hello some part of your question is missing below is the missing part

Missing question:  Find the probability that the Smith family had at least 6 girls?

answer : 0.1406

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of children = 8

probability of a child being a girl ( success ) = 0.5  (

P( boy ) ( q ) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

P( at least 6 girls ) = p(k = 6 ) + p(k = 7 )

                              = 0.109375 + 0.03125 ≈ 0.1406

( using Binomial probability Calculator )

A scientist is studying the population growth rates of two different species of rats in the same laboratory conditions. The popu
Korolek [52]

Since, population of species A is represented by : P=2^{x} +19

Let us find the population of species A, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., P(1)=2^{1} +19

i.e., P(1)=2 +19

i.e., P(1)=21


Also, since population of species B is represented by : P=3^{x} +18

Let us find the population of species B, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., P(1)=3^{1} +18

i.e., P(1)=3 +18

i.e., P(1)=21


Thus, at the end of 1 week, species A and species B will have the same population.

Hence, option D is correct.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

1. Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

2. Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

3. If Jamie washes x no. of cars and Stella makes y no. of pies, then,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

4. Yes, Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

if Jamie washes x no. of cars for $25 each and Stella makes y no. of pies

for $ 15 each, then, according to the question,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

Yes,  Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns. Because, she can make at most 40 pies for $15 each and

$ 40 \times 15 = $ 600 = The amount of money Stella needs for the trip.
