Probability of a girl to be chosen as prefect:

Answer:

Probability = 15/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find probability that prefect is a girl.

The total members are,

→ 15 girls + 8 boys

→ s = 15 + 8

→ [ s = 23 ]

Then the probability will be,

→ P = 15/s

→ [ P = 15/23 ]

Hence, the answer is 15/23.

The probability that their next (third) child will have extra digits is 0.5

Polydactyly refers to the presence of extra fingers in the human body. It is a hereditary condition that is passed down from parents to children. The thumb, middle, and little fingers are the most commonly affected by this condition. Polydactyly refers to the presence of extra fingers in the human body. It is a hereditary condition that is passed down from parents to children. The thumb, middle, and little fingers are the most commonly affected by this condition.

A trait is a distinguishing characteristic that a person possesses. Dominant traits are defined as having only one copy of a gene on a chromosome that expresses a specific trait.

Individuals exhibit the dominant traits most prominently. Polydactyly is the dominant condition in this case.

The father has six fingers and six toes, while the mother is in normal condition. In this particular condition, polydactyly is a dominant trait. Twelve percent of the couple's children are expected to have extra digits.

Because the father has the dominant trait and the mother is in normal condition, there is a 50% chance that this deformity will be passed down to children.

The probability that their next child will have extra digits is 0.5

The equation of the trend line in the scatter plot is y = - 4x + 24

What is the slope-intercept form?

Writing the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form simply makes the slope (steepness) and y-intercept (where the line crosses the vertical y-axis) obvious.

Here, we have

The yellow points are located at points (6, 0) and (4, 8)

For a linear equation that passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is:

s = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Then, for the equation, the slope is

s = (8-0)/(4-6) = -4

Then the linear equation become

y = -4x + b

where b is the y-axis intercept.

To find b, we use that when x = 6, y = 0

0 = 6×(-4) + b

b = 24

Then equation become y = - 4x + 24

Hence, the equation of the trend line in the scatter plot is y = - 4x + 24

The angles of the triangle will be 50°, 70°, 60° .

let the 3 angles of a triangle be A, B and C

The first acute angle A is given by = x + 20

The second acute angle B is given by = 2x + 10

The third acute angle C is given by = 4x - 60

Now we know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°

So ,

A + B + C + = 180°

x + 20 + 2x + 10 +  4x - 60 = 180°

7x - 30 = 180°

7x = 210°

x = 30°

So, from the value of x , we can calculate the value of each angle

Therefore, the required angles are :

angle A = (x + 20)° = 30° + 20° = 50°

angle B = (2x + 10)° = 60° + 10° = 70°

angle C = (4x - 60)° = 120° - 60° = 60°

the dimensions of the dumpster that will minimize its surface area

length l = 6.32

width w =  1.58

height h = 0.39

Length = l

width = w

height = h

given that length is four times its width

l = 4w

Now, the formula for the surface area of a cube is;

S = 2lh + 2lw + 2wh

substitute l = 4w in the above equation

S = 2(4w)h+2(4w)w+2wh

S = 8wh+8[tex]w^{2}[/tex]+2wh

S = 10wh + 8[tex]w^{2}[/tex]

formula for the volume of a cube is;

V = lwh

now substitute l=4w in the above equation

V = (4w)wh

V = 4[tex]w^{2}[/tex]h

h = 4[tex]w^{2}[/tex]/V

Put V/2w² for h in the surface area equation to get;

S= 8w² + 10w(V/4w²)

 = 8w² + 5V/2w

given that volume V = 25.6 substitute that in the above equation

S = 8w² + 5(25.6)/2w

  = 8w² + 128/2w

Since we want to minimize the surface area, let us find the first derivative of S to get;

S' = 16w - 128/2w²

At S' = 0

0 = 16w-  128/2w²

16w =  128/2w²

32w³ = 128

w³ = 128/32

w³ = 4

w = [tex]\sqrt[3]{4}[/tex]

w = 1.58 yds

since l = 4w substitute the value of w in that

l = 4(1.58) = 6.32

h = 4[tex]w^{2}[/tex]/V = 4([tex]1.58^{2}[/tex])/25.6

Let y represents the number of cups of coffee

and, x represents the amount of sugar

y ∝ x

y = kx

a. 'k' is the constant of proportionality

Gary purchased a S750 TV on a credit card with a 22% annual percentage rate, and he wants to pay it off in payments of $200 per month. The table shows the information for the first four months after Gary used his credit card. We need to calculate the values of the missing variables and the total amount he will pay.

The variable "b" is the monthly amount paid by Gary. It is less than or equal to $200, depending on the payment amount. Since the amount to be paid is $169.74, which is less than $200, he will pay the whole amount in one go.

The sequence converges and its limit is zero

A sequence is an ordered set of numbers governed by a rule.

The limit of a sequence is the value the sequence approaches

The convergence of a sequence is when the sequence approached a definite value

The divergence of a sequence is when the sequence does not approach a  definite value.

Since we have the sequence (√3 - √1), (√4 - √2), (√5 - √3), (√6 - √2), We need to find the general term of the sequence.

Observing this, we find that the general term Uₙ = √(n + 2) - √n

To determine if the limit converges or diverges, we take the limit of the sequence as n → ∞.

So,

[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} U_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sqrt{n + 2} - \sqrt{n} \\= \lim_{n \to \infty} \sqrt{n + 2} - \lim_{n \to \infty} \sqrt{n} \\= \sqrt{\infty - 2} - \sqrt{\infty} \\= \sqrt{\infty} - \sqrt{\infty} \\= \infty -\infty[/tex]

Since this is an indeterminate form, we use L'hopital's rule to find the limit.

Uₙ = √(n + 2) - √n

= √n{√[(n + 2)/n] - 1}

= √n÷ 1/{√[(1 + 2/n] - 1}

Differentiating, we have

lim n → ∞ Uₙ = lim n → ∞ d√n/dn ÷ d(1/{√[(1 + 2/n] - 1})/dn

= 1/(2√n)/-√[(1 + 2/n] - 1})⁻² × 1/2√(1 + 2/n] × (-2/n²)

= n²[√(1 + 2/n] - 1})²/(2√n)√(1 + 2/n]

= n²[√(1 + 2/n] - 1})²/(2√n)√(1 + 2/n)]

Dividing through by n², we have

= n²[√(1 + 2/n] - 1})²/n² ÷ (2√n)√(1 + 2/n)]/n²

= [√(1 + 2/n] - 1})² ÷ (2(√n)³√(1 + 2/n³)]

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by (√n)³, we have

= [√(1 + 2/n] - 1})²/(√n)³ ÷ (2(√n)³√(1 + 2/n³)]/(√n)³

= (1 + 2/n] - √(1 + 2/n] + 1)/(√n)³ ÷ [2√(1 + 2/n³)]

= (1(√n)³ + 2/n²] - √{(1 + 2/n]/n)³} + 1/(√n)³) ÷ [2√(1 + 2/n³)]

= (1(√n)³ + 2/n²] - √{(1/n³ + 2/n⁴} + 1/√n)³) ÷ [2√(1 + 2/n³)]

So, lim n → ∞ Uₙ = lim n → ∞  (1(√n)³ + 2/n²] - √{(1/n³ + 2/n⁴} + 1/√n)³) ÷ [2√(1 + 2/n³)]

=  (1(√∞)³ + 2/∞²] - √{(1/∞³ + 2/∞⁴} + 1/√∞)³) ÷ [2√(1 + 2/∞³)]

=  (0 + 0] - √{(0 + 0} + 0) ÷ [2√(1 + 0)]

= (0 - 0 + 0)/2
