Amy has 3 children, and she is expecting another baby soon. Her first three children are girls. Is the sex of the fourth baby dependent or independent of the first three?
A) Independent. With every child, there is a 50% chance of having a boy or girl.
Eliminate
B) Dependent. Amy has not had a boy yet, so her chance of having a boy is greater.
C) Dependent. Every time Amy has a baby, the chances of having another girl increase.
D) Independent. Only the mom and dad determine the sex of that baby, not the siblings.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I would say D.) is the best choice in this situation, The amount of female children you have does not determine the Gender that your child will be, The kids have nothing to do with the situation, The Father and Mother are what determine the Gender.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Amy has 3 children, and she is expecting another baby soon. Her first three children are girls.

The fourth baby is independent of first three babies

As regards child birth, each trial is independent of the other with probability for a girl or boy equally likely with p = 0.5 = q

Hence option A is right answer.

Option B is wrong because the previous 3 girls have nothing to affect the sex of 4th child

Option C is wrong, since each trial is independent

D) is wrong since even mom and dad cannot determine the sex of that baby, it is nature and pure chance.

√18

18√2

Answers

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is BC.

According to the Pythagorean Theorem;

[tex]BC^2=AC^2+AB^2[/tex]

Since the base angles are equal:

[tex]AC=BC=9\sqrt{2}[/tex]

We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain:

[tex]BC^2=AC^2+AB^2[/tex]

[tex]BC^2=(9\sqrt{2})^2+(9\sqrt{2})^2[/tex]

[tex]BC^2=81(2)+81(2)[/tex]

[tex]BC^2=162+162[/tex]

[tex]BC^2=324[/tex]

Take positive square root.

[tex]BC=\sqrt{324}[/tex]

[tex]BC=18[/tex]

Monica brought some postage stamps.She uses 10 stamps on letters and 5 stamps on postcards.Then her grandmother gives her 20 more stamps. She now has 35 stamps left. How many stamps did Monica originally have?

Answers

to find out how many stamps monica originally had, you’d have to do the equation given, “reversed”

equation given: 35 + 20 - 5 - 10

but because we are trying to find how many she originally had left, you’d have to do opposite operations (reverse) in the equation given.

35 - 20 + 5 + 10 = 30

so, this means that monica had 30 stamps originally

?ABC has the points A(1, 7), B(-2, 2), and C(4, 2) as its vertices. The measure of the longest side of ?ABC is units. ?ABC is triangle. If ?ABD is formed with the point D(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ?ABD is triangle. The length of side AD is units.

Answers

The solution involves using the distance formula to calculate the lengths of the sides of triangles ABC and ABD, and the Pythagorean theorem to identify the type of triangles they are by their side lengths.

To determine the characteristics of triangle ABC with vertices A(1, 7), B(-2, 2), and C(4, 2), we use the distance formula which is relevant because the length of the side of the triangle labeled a is the difference in the x-coordinates of points A and B. The same applies for side b, being the difference in the y-coordinates of points B and C. The length of side c is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, understanding that c represents the longest side of a right triangle, which is the hypotenuse.

Considering triangle ABD with an additional point D(1, 2), we first need to determine the lengths of the sides by using the formula for distance between two points in a coordinate plane for sides AB, BD, and AD. This will help to ascertain the type of triangle ABD is, based on the lengths of its sides. The length of side AD can be directly obtained since points A and D have the same x-coordinate.

The longest side of triangle ABC, which we determine by comparing the calculated lengths of AB, BC, and AC, will help us state whether the triangle is isosceles, scalene, or equilateral. For triangle ABD, once we have the lengths of AB, BD, and AD, we can determine its type similarly. This understanding stems from the standard geometric principles and the properties of triangles in a Euclidean space.

A.
60°
B.
90°

Where

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle measure of the arc, and

2πr is the circumference

Putting 84 in place of circumference and 14 in place of arc length, we can solve for [tex]\theta[/tex]:

Arc Length = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r[/tex]

14 = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}*(84)[/tex]

Which statement is true?​

Answers

Hello!

The answer is:

The second option,

[tex](\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }[/tex]

Why?

Discarding each given option in order to find the correct one, we have:

First option,

[tex]\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[2m]{xy}[/tex]

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

[tex]\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[m]{xy}[/tex]

Second option,

[tex](\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }[/tex]

The statement is true, we can prove it by using the following properties of exponents:

[tex](a^{b})^{c}=a^{bc}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[n]{x^{m} }=x^{\frac{m}{n} }[/tex]

We are given the expression:

[tex](\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}[/tex]

So, applying the properties, we have:

[tex](\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=(x^{\frac{a}{m}})^{b}=x^{\frac{ab}{m}}\\\\x^{\frac{ab}{m}}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }[/tex]

Hence,

[tex](\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }[/tex]

Third option,

[tex]a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=ab\sqrt[n]{x}[/tex]

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

[tex]a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=(a+b)\sqrt[n]{x}[/tex]

Fourth option,

[tex]\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=m\sqrt{xy}[/tex]

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=\sqrt[m]{\frac{x}{y} }[/tex]

Hence, the answer is, the statement that is true is the second statement:

[tex](\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }[/tex]

Can I get an explanation please.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is letter D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

sqrt(y^3) + sqrt(9y^3) - 3y*sqrt(y)

We now that sqrt(a*b) = sqrt(a)sqrt(b)

Applying this rule, we have:

sqrt(y^3) + sqrt(9y^3) - 3y*sqrt(y)

sqrt(y^3) + 3sqrt(y^3) - 3y*sqrt(y)

Also we know that a*sqrt(b) = sqrt(b*a^2)

Applying this we have:

sqrt(y^3) + 3sqrt(y^3) - 3y*sqrt(y) = sqrt(y^3) + 3sqrt(y^3) - 3sqrt(y^3)

Then the result is:

sqrt(y^3) + 3sqrt(y^3) - 3sqrt(y^3) = sqrt(y^3) = y*sqrt(y)

The correct option is letter D.

A. 20

B. 10

C. 14

D. 7

Answers

Answer:

A. 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominators 49 and 100  are the squares of 1/2 of the lengths of the minor and major axis.  The standard form is x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1  so

a = 2 * √49 and b = 2 * √100.

The length of the major axis is therefore    2* √100

= 2 * 10

= 20 (answer).

Answer:  A. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the general equation of ellipse :-

[tex]\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

If a > b , then the length of major axis = 2a

If b> a , then the length of major axis = 2b

The given equation : [tex]\dfrac{(x-3)^2}{49}+\dfrac{(y+6)^2}{100}=1[/tex]

Which can be written as :

[tex]\dfrac{(x-3)^2}{7^2}+\dfrac{(y+6)^2}{10^2}=1[/tex]

Here 10 >7 , then the length of major axis =2(10)=20 units

A fair coin is tossed 6 times. Compute the probability of tossing 6 tails in a row.
-----------------------------

Enter your response as a reduced fraction.

Answers

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

The probability of tossing 6 tails in a row with a fair coin is 1/64, as each toss's outcome is independent and the probability of tail on a single toss is 1/2.

Explanation:

To compute the probability of tossing 6 tails in a row with a fair coin, you recognize that for each individual toss, the probability of getting a tail is ½. Since each toss is independent, you simply multiply the probabilities of each event occurring consecutively. Therefore, the probability of tossing 6 tails in a row is:

(½) × (½) × (½) × (½) × (½) × (½) = ½6

½6 = 1/64

So, the probability of tossing 6 tails in a row is 1/64.

Claire purchases a new dress for the prom. The dress is priced $160, but it is on sale for 30% off. Claire's aunt works at the store and can give her an additional 10% off. If the sales tax is 7.5%, how much does Claire pay for the dress? a. $93.24 b. $103.20 c. $108.36 d. $120.40

Answers

The dress is originally 160$, but we take 30% off which is that same as .3 .

To find 30% or .3 of 160 we multiply 160 by .3 which gets us 48.

48 is 30% of 160 so to find the new price of the dress we need to subtract

160 - 48 = 112. The new price of the dress is 112$.

Since Claire's aunt works at the store Claire will get an additional 10% off from the "new" price which is 112$.  10% is also .1, so we will multiply 112 by .1 which equals 11.20.

As 10% of 112 is 11.20 so we will subtract 11 dollars and 20 cents from the price. 112 - 11.20 = 100.80$.

For sales tax we will do the same thing, multiply 100.80 by .075 which equals 7.56. This time since we are ADDING sales tax, we will add 100.80 and 7.56 rather than subtract. 100.80 + 7.56 = 108.36.

Claire will be paying 108.36$ for the prom dress.

(08.06 MC) The distances (y), in miles, of two cars from their starting points at certain times (x), in hours, are shown by the equations below: Car A y = 55x + 32 Car B y = 42x + 58 After how many hours will the two cars be at the same distance from their starting point and what will that distance be? (5 points) 2 hours, 142 miles 2 hours, 145 miles 3 hours, 142 miles 3 hours, 145 miles

Answers

Answer:

2 hours,  142 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a distance formula for both cars and then equate these formulas:

Car A:  y = 55x + 32  =  y = 42x + 58:  Car B

Then 55x + 32  =  y = 42x + 58  →  13x = 26, and so x = 2

That distance will be 55(2) + 32, or 142 miles.

The cars will reach the same point after 2 hours (first possible answer)

An equation is formed when two equal expressions. The correct option is A, 2hours, and 142 miles.

What is an equation?

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given the equation for the distance covered by car A in x hours is y = 55x + 32, similarly, the equation for the distance covered by Car B in x hours is y=42x+58.

Now, to know at what time and at what distance the two cars will meet we need to solve the two equations. Since the car will cover the same distance we can write,

y = y

55x + 32 = 42x + 58

55x - 42x = 58 - 32

13x = 26

x = 2

Substitute the value of x in any one of the equations,

y = 55x + 32

y = 55(2) + 32

y = 110 + 32

y = 142

Thus, the car will meet after 2 hours, and the distance will be 142 miles.

Hence, the correct option is A, 2hours, and 142 miles.

what are the coordinates of the focus of the parabola? (X+1)^2=-8(y-2)


A. (-1,1)

B. (-1,2)

C. (-1,0)

D. (1,-2)

Answers

Answer:

C. (-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

(You don't need a picture to figure this out...it's simple algebraic manipulation.)

We could start off by rewriting the equation for the parabola with the negative on the other side, which tells us then that the parabola opens downward:

[tex]-(x+1)^2=8(y-2)[/tex]

Dividing both sides by -1 doesn't change anything.  Because this parabola opens downward, the focus is p units below the vertex at the same x-coordinate.  The vertex can be found from the equation to be (-1, 2).  The standard form of a parabola of this type is

[tex]-(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)[/tex]

where is the number of units between the vertex and the focus.  Our equation to find p is:

4p = 8 so p = 2.

That means that the focus is 2 units below the vertex at the x coordinate of -1.  Moving 2 units down from the y coordinate of 2 leaves us at a y coordinate of 0.  Therefore, the coordinates of the focus have to be (-1, 0)

In a village of 3500 people, 12% are left handed, and 15% of the left hand are blonde hair. How many people in the village are blonde and left-handed?

Answers

Final answer:

In the village of 3500 people, 63 individuals are both left-handed and have blonde hair.

Explanation:

To find out how many people in the village are both left-handed and have blonde hair, we first need to calculate the number of left-handed people, and then find 15% of that number to determine those who are also blonde.

Calculate the number of left-handed people: 12% of 3500 = 0.12 × 3500 = 420.Calculate the number of left-handed people who are blonde: 15% of 420 = 0.15 × 420 = 63.

Therefore, 63 people in the village are both left-handed and blonde-haired.
