Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the actual probability of having a boy child is 0.51, the probability of having a girl child will be (1 - 0.51) = 0.49
A couple plans to have 3 kids; 2 of whom are boys
(A) Using the binomial model, the probability that 2 of the 3 children will be boys is (2/3) × 0.51 = 0.34
(B) The possible orderings of the 3 children are given below:
B1 B2 G / B1 G B2
B2 B1 G / B2 G B1
G B1 B2 / G B2 B1
Where B1 is one male child and B2 is the other male child
(C) If we wanted to calculate the probability that a couple who plans to have 8 kids will have 3 boys, briefly describe why the approach from part (b) would be more tedious than the approach from part (a)
If the probability of 2/3 is 0.34 then the probability of 3/8 will be 0.1912 when you cross multiply
Answer:
+1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
One approach to evaluating this would be to rewrite it as:
-2 -5
------ * --------- .
10 7 This reduces to:
2
--------- = +1/7
2(7)
3.5, 3.95, 3.975
Ordered from least to greatest.
