What is the expected number of female children in a family with three children? 1 1. 5 2 2002. 5.

Answers

The expected number of female children in a family with three children is 1.5.

The correct option is B.

We have to determine

What is the expected number of female children in a family with three children?

Probability;

Probability is defined as the sum of all observations and the number of observations.

The expected value of female children= Probability of female children x Total number of children.

A child can be male or female, so there are 2 combinations, the favorable outcome is female.

The probability of female children = 1/2.

Therefore,

The expected number of female children in a family with three children is;

[tex]= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\\\\=1.5[/tex]

Hence, The expected number of female children in a family with three children is 1.5.

Grace biked for 8 miles in 1 hour on Monday. She covered 18 miles in 2 hours the next day. On which day did Grace bike at a faster pace? ​

Answers

Solution:

Note that:

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Find the speed of her bike of both the days and compare.

Speed on Monday = 8 miles/1 hour = 8 m/hSpeed on the next day = 18 miles/2 hours = 9 m/h

This means that:

=> 9 m/h > 8 m/h

Hence, the day after Monday is the day, she rode her bike faster than on Monday.

Answer:

The next day

Step-by-step explanation:

she covered 8 miles in 1 hour on Monday but on tuesday she covered 9 miles in 1 hour so she biked faster the next day.

If the price is marked down by 25 percent

The price of a new car is $30,000. If the sales tax is 6.5%, what is the total cost for the car, including tax?

Answers

Answer:

$31950

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply 30,000 by .065 to get 1950. We ad them together to get $31,950. :)

Answer:

$31,950 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:
Initial price of the car is $30,000...
The car has an increase tax of 6.5% (which means 6.5% of the initial price of the car is the sales tax.)

In order to find the total cost of the car, we need to find 6.5% of $30,000 and then add that number to the initial price to have the answer.

[tex]\frac{6.5\times30000}{100} =6.5\times30000=19500\div100=1950[/tex]
[tex]30000+1950=31950[/tex]
[tex]t=31950[/tex]

Therefore, the car has the total cost (including tax) of "$31,950 dollars."

[tex]\sqrt{51}[/tex] or 7.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we can conclude the formula that we are going to use here is [tex]a^{2}+b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

As we can see, this is a right triangle given that it has the square in the corner there. With this information, we can conclude that the longest side is 10, making it the hypotenuse or [tex]c[/tex]

Now we need to find [tex]b[/tex] in the formula of [tex]a^{2}+b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex] making the equation [tex]b^{2} = c^{2} - a^{2}[/tex] or [tex]b = \sqrt{ c^{2} - a^{2}}[/tex]

Given the provided information, this would be [tex]b^{2} = 10^{2} - 7^{2}[/tex] or [tex]b = \sqrt{ 10^{2} - 7^{2}}[/tex]

Simplifying it would be [tex]b = \sqrt{ 100-49[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{51}[/tex]

The radical form would be [tex]\sqrt{51}[/tex]

While it's integer would be 7.14

Hope this helps!

Answer:

then divide both sides by 58.3 to get 13.2435678
then round to get 13.24

Answer:

x=13.243568

Step-by-step explanation:

1000=58.3x+227.9

Step 1: Flip the equation.

58.3x+227.9=1000

Step 2: Subtract 227.9 from both sides.

58.3x+227.9=1000

A cannonball is released at an angle of 20˚ at a velocity of 12m/s. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the object. What kinematic formula must be used to solve this problem?.

Answers

The horizontal velocity of the cannonball is released at an angle of 20˚ at a velocity of 12m/s is 11.276 m/s.

What is Velocity?

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time. It is a scalar quantity.

We know that the velocity is a scalar quantity therefore, it can be divided into two components such that the first component is the vertical component which is equal to the (V sinθ), while the other component is the horizontal component(V cosθ), where V is the velocity and θ is the angle of the velocity from the positive x-axis.

Now, in order to calculate the horizontal velocity of the cannonball we can write,

[tex]\rm V_x = V\ Cos\theta[/tex]

[tex]V_x = 12 (Cos\ 20^o)\\\\V_x = 11.276\rm\ m/s[/tex]

Hence, the horizontal velocity of the cannonball is released at an angle of 20˚ at a velocity of 12m/s is 11.276 m/s.

Use the bar graph. Astronauts installed 15 new tiles on the outside of the space station they spent 390 minutes on the task. each tile took the same amount of time to install. draw a bar in the graph to show the time needed to install a tile. Explain

Answers

Answer:

11. It will take about 26 minutes to install a singular tile.

12. It will take about 10 more minutes to install a light than it does to install a cable.

Step-by-step explanation:

11. Since installing 15 new tiles took a total of 390 minutes and each tile took the same amount of time, you can divide the total amount of time by the number of tiles.

390/15= 26 minutes

It will take about 26 minutes to install a single tile.

12. By looking at the chart it can be assumed that installing a light takes about 22 minutes since it is in the middle of 20 and 24 minutes. Installing a cable only takes 12 minutes.

22-12= 10 minutes

It takes about 10 minutes longer to install a light than it does a cable.

It took about 26 minutes to install a single tile and 10 minutes longer to install a light than it does a cable.

What is Graph?

Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points.

Given,

Installing 15 new tiles took a total of 390 minutes and each tile took the same amount of time,

We have to divide the total amount of time by the number of tiles.

390/15= 26 minutes

It will take about 26 minutes to install a single tile.

By observing the chart, it can be assumed that installing a light takes about 22 minutes since it is in the middle of 20 and 24 minutes. Installing a cable only takes 12 minutes.

22-12= 10 minutes

It takes about 10 minutes longer to install a light than it does a cable.
