Step-by-step explanation:

based on the rough assumption that the probabilty to get a boy is the same as to get a girl = 1/2 = 0.5, as there are only 2 possible outcomes.

when a family has 4 children, they have 2 possibilities for the first child, 2 for the second child, 2 for the third and 2 for the fourth child.

so, 2×2×2×2 = 2⁴ = 16 possibilities.

the probability for any of these 16 possibilities is

0.5⁴ = (1/2)⁴ = 1/16 = 0.0625

how many of these 16 possibilities include at least one boy ? all except the one, where all 4 children are girls.

so, 16 - 1 = 15

that means 15 out of possible 16 different "configurations" contain at least 1 boy.

the probabilty is therefore 15/16.

and that applies as mean value of 2000 families to

2000 × 15/16 = 125 × 15 = 1875 families

we expect 1875 families out of 2000 to have at least one boy.

how many have 2 boys ?

that is the same as the question in how many ways can I pick 2 elements out of 4.

that are 4 over 2 combinations

4! / (2! × (4-2)!) = 4!/(2!×2!) = 4×3/2 = 2×3 = 6

so, 6 out of the possible 16 possibilities have 2 boys.

the probabilty is therefore 6/16 = 3/8

and that applies as mean value of 2000 families to

2000 × 6/16 = 125 × 6 = 750 families

we expect 750 families out of 2000 to have two boys.

how many have 1 or 2 girls ?

there are 4 possibilities to have 1 girl (either the first, the second, the third or the fourth child).

there are (as before with the 2 boys) 6 possibilities to have 2 girls.

that is together 4+6=10 possibilities out of the 16 to have one or two girls.

the probabilty is therefore 10/16 = 5/8

and that applies as mean value of 2000 families to

2000 × 10/16 = 125 × 10 = 1250 families

we expect 1250 families out of 2000 to have one or two girls.

how many have no girls ?

that is the same as having only (4) boys.

there is only one possibility out of the 16 for that.

the probabilty is therefore 1/16.

and that applies as mean value of 2000 families to

2000 × 1/16 = 125 families

we expect 125 families out of 2000 to have no girls.

2x+$2,000=$28,000
2x=$28,000-$2,000
2x=$26,000
x=26,000 divided by 2
x=$13,000

I'm very confused on how to even figure out the question and what I'm supposed to do
Tasya [4]

Answer:

To solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system. The solution to the system will be in the point where the two lines intersect. The two lines intersect in (-3, -4) which is the solution to this system of equations. I hope this helped!
