Answer:

1−0.03125=0.96875

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having a male or female child is equal (0.5).

So having your first child means you have a 50% chance of a male. Your second child being male also will have a probability of

0.5x0.5=0.25 .

The only scenario in which a couple with five children do not have at least one son is if all five children are female.

So the pribability of having five females is  0.55=0.03125  

So if every other scenario means the couple have at least one son, and the total probability of an event is 1, we can find the probability of having at least one son with

1−0.03125=0.96875

If frank has 380 condoms and he uses 180 in two weeks and by the 4th week he has 2 left how many did he use in 2 weeks (btws thi
anastassius [24]

You have said that he used 180 in the first two weeks.

That left him with 200 at the end of the first two weeks.
Then you said that he had 2 left after another 2 weeks.
So during those 2 weeks, he used (200 - 2) = 198 in the 2nd 2 weeks.

What we all expected has not happened at all:  Frank is not slowing down !

But, even so, we have to ask ourselves just what Frank is doing with them all.

Nobody can blame you for wondering.
