According to the Guinness Book of World Records, a woman from Russia, Mrs. Vassilyeva, had 69 children between the years 1725 to

1765. She had 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets. Suppose one of the births is randomly selected. Given that Mrs. Vassilyeva gave birth to at least 3 children (triplets), what is the probability that she gave birth to quadruplets

Answer:

36.36% probability that she gave birth to quadruplets

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcoes.

Desired outcomes:

Giving births to quadruplets.

She has 4 sets of quadruplets.

So D = 4

Total outcomes:

At least 3 children(triplets).

7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets.

So T = 7 + 4 = 11

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{4}{11} = 0.3636

36.36% probability that she gave birth to quadruplets

Suppose that w and t vary inversely and that t = 5/12
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Option B. t=5/3w ;1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that w varies Inversely with t thus generally speaking w∝\frac{1}{t}  since they are inverted, <u>otherwise</u> if they were proportionally varied then w∝t. This means that there is a constant value ( a ) for which w is inversely proportional to t and can be mathematically expressed as:

w=\frac{a}{t}        Eqn. (1)

Now since we are given the values of w=4 and t=\frac{5}{12}, we can plug them in Eqn. (1) and find our constant of proportionality a as follow:

w=\frac{a}{t}\\ \\a=wt\\\\a=(4)(\frac{5}{12} )\\\\a=\frac{5}{3}

Now that we have our constant we can find the new t value for the second value of w=5 as follow:

w=\frac{a}{t} \\\\t=\frac{a}{w}\\ \\t=\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{5}\\\\t=\frac{5}{15}\\ \\t=\frac{1}{3}\\

Therefore based on the options give, we can see that Option B. is correct since

t=\frac{5}{3w} and for w=5, then t=\frac{1}{3}

Complete the square for 3x^2-12x=9
larisa [96]

Answer:

The solutions are -0.65 and 4.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 12x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x^2 - 4x = 3

To make a square with "x^2 - 4x", you need to have a "+ 4" after it so it can be simplified as (x-2)^2.  So add 4 to both sides.

x^2 - 4x + 4 = 7

(x-2)^2 = 7

x - 2 = (square root) of 7

x = 2 (+/-) (square root) of 7.

x = {-0.65, 4.65}

The solutions are -0.65 and 4.65.

hope this helps:)sorry if it doesnt
