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.

Complete the square to determine the maximum or minimum value of the function defined by the expression. x2 + 8x + 6
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Minimum at (-4, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 8x + 6

The coefficient of x² is positive, so the parabola opens upward, and the vertex is a minimum.

Subtract the constant from each side

x² + 8x = -6

Square half the coefficient of x

(8/2)² = 4² = 16

Add it to each side of the equation

x² + 8x + 16 = 10

Write the left-hand side as the square of a binomial

(x + 4)² = 10

Subtract 10 from each side of the equation

(x+ 4)² -10 = 0

This is the vertex form of the parabola:

(x - h)² + k = 0,

where (h, k) is the vertex.

h = -4 and k = -10, so the vertex is at (-4, -10).

The Figure below shows your parabola with a minimum at (-4, -10).

Pre-calc<br> Evaluate f(2) using substitution:<br> f(x) = 2x^3 – 3x^2– 18x-8
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

f(2) = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Just substitute x=2 into the function:

f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 18x - 8

f(2) = 2(2)³ - 3(2)² - 18(2) - 8

f(2) = 2(8) - 3(4) - 36 - 8

f(2) = 16 - 12 - 44

f(2) = 4 - 44

f(2) = -40
