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

Need to find surface area
quester [9]

Find the area for each shape.

For the triangle face you would do 4 times 6 divided by 2. Then times it by 2 because there are two triangle faces.

For the rectangle face do 5 times 12, then times 3 because there are 3 triangle faces.

Finally add both numbers together to get the surface area.

Compare the temperature change for the two masses of cold water (50 grams and 100 grams) when the same amount of hot water was a
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All other things being equal (and there are a lot of other things) the 50 gram mass will show a larger temperature

increase than the 100 gram mass.

Why?

The formula is the same from both masses of water (50 grams and 100 grams)

The amount of heat added is the same. (Instead of using hot water, we'll a hot plate on a very low temperature but above what they are now.).

We'll leave it on until we see a rise in temperature  delta(t1) = 10 degrees

mc delta(t) = m1 * c * delta(t1)

m = 100

m1 = 50 grams.

c is going to be divided out

we'll solve for the ratio of delta(t) / delta(t1)

100 * delta(t) = 50 (delta(t1)

100 * delta(t) = 50*10

delta(t) = 50*10/100

delta(t) = 5 degrees.

Though this may look rather convoluted, the result is telling us is that delta(t1) for the 50 gram mass is twice as big as as for the 100 gram mass.

The 100 gram mass only rises 5 degrees.

The 50   gram mass rises 10 degrees.
