exercise 2.31. suppose a family has 2 children of different ages. we assume that all combinations of boys and girls are equally likely. (a) formulate precisely the sample space and probability measure that describes the genders of the two children in the order in which they are born. (b) suppose we learn that there is a girl in the family. (precisely: we learn that there is at least one girl.) what is the probability that the other child is a boy? (c) suppose we see the parents with a girl, and the parents tell us that this is their youngest child. what is the probability that the older child we have not yet seen is a boy?

Answers

Answer 1

A.  P(BB) = P( GG) ,P(BG), P(GB) .1/4 the sample space and probability measure that describes the genders of the two children in the order in which they are born.

B.    = 1/2 is the probability that the other child is a boy.

C.   1/2 is the probability that the older child we have not yet seen is a boy.

A. sample space s. {BB,GG,BG,GB}

    P(BB) = P( GG) ,P(BG), P(GB) .1/4

B. P(other child is boy / at least one girl

therefore P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)      ( Additional probe)

P(B) = P (at least one girl)

      = P (GG)+P(BG)+P(GB)

      = 1/4+1/4+1/4

      = 3/4

P (A∩B) = P (One boy and one girl)

             = P (BG)+P(GB)

             = 1/4+ 1/4

            = 1/2

Therefore, P(A/B) = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex] = 2/3

C. P (older child is a boy/ younger child is a girl)

   P [tex]\frac{older child\ is a\ boy}{youngerchild is a girl}[/tex]

P(BG)/P (BG)+ P (GG) = 1/4/1/4+1/4 = 1/2

What is probability?

Probability refers to potential. A random event's occurrence is the subject of this area of mathematics. The range of the value is 0 to 1. Mathematics has incorporated probability to forecast the likelihood of various events. The degree to which something is likely to happen is basically what probability means. You will understand the potential outcomes for a random experiment using this fundamental theory of probability, which is also applied to the probability distribution. Knowing the total number of outcomes is necessary before we can calculate the likelihood that a specific event will occur.

find the remainder when 2 to the 100th power is divided by 5. explain your work

Answers

When 2 to the power of hundred is divided by 5 it show s remainder of 1

How to calculate the value of 2 to the 100th power divided by 5

2 to the 100th power is solved as follows

2 ^ 100 = 1.2676506 * 10^30

This is solved using a calculator and the solution means that

2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2...............2   (2 multiplying itself till the number of 2's are up to 100)

This gives the value = 1.2676506 * 10^30

Division of the  2^100, by 5

2^100 / 5

2^1 / 5 remainder =2

2^2 / 5 remainder = 4

2^3 / 5 remainder = 3

2^4 / 5 remainder = 1

2^5 / 5 remainder = 2

2^6 / 5 remainder = 4

2^7 / 5 remainder = 3

2^8 / 5 remainder = 1

2^9 / 5 remainder = 2

2^10 / 5 remainder = 4

2^11 / 5 remainder = 3

It can be seen that it generates a pattern which is

1243

The pattern counts in 4's. If we follow the pattern and count to 2^30

= 100 / 4

= 25 ⇒ this is a multiple of 4 and multiples of 4 goes with remainder 1

This is to say

2^97 / 5 remainder = 2

2^98 / 5 remainder = 4

2^99 / 5 remainder = 3

2^100 / 5 remainder = 1

Hence 2^100 divided by 5 will give a remainder of 1

B. consistent and dependent
C. consistent and independent
D. inconsistent and independent

Answers

The system of equations has one solution, so it is consistent and independent, the correct option is C.

What is the classification of the system of equations?

Here we have the system of equations:

x = 5

y = 6

-x - y + z = 0

By replacing the first and second equations into the third one, we get:

-5 - 6 + z = 0

-11 + z = 0

z = 11

So the solution is (5, 6, 11)

So it is consistent, and it is independent as clearly, the equations are linearly independent (system of 3 equations with 3 variables having only one solution).

From the question, the given parameters are:

Multiplies a number by 100÷8Add 6.50 The answer is 1206.5

The above sequence of statements can be represented as

x * (100÷8) + 6.50 = 1206.5

Where x represents the number

So, we have

x * (100÷8) + 6.50 = 1206.5

Evaluate the quotient

x * 12.5 + 6.50 = 1206.5

Subtract 6.50 from both sides

x * 12.5 = 1200

Divide both sides by 12.5

The measure of the angle PRS is given as follows:

m<PRS = 45º.

Measure of angle PRS

As stated in this problem, these following angles are given:

<MRQ = 142º.m<NRS = 90º.

MRQ and and QRN form a ray, hence they are supplementary angles.

For supplementary angles, the sum of the measures is of 180º, hence the measure x of angle QRN is calculated as follows:

142 + x = 180

x = 180 - 142

x = 38º.

The entire diagram forms an angle of 360º, hence:

142 + 38 + 90 + m<MRS = 360º.

270 + m<MRS = 360º

m<MRS = 90º.


The segment PR bisects the angle MRS, dividing into two angles of 90º/2 = 45º, as a bisection of an angle basically splits the angle in half hence these following measures are identified:

m<MRP = 45º.m<PRS = 45º.

Using the Elimination method Solve the system:x+y-z=143x+2y+4z=17-x+5y+z=8

Answers

Given the system of equations:

x + y - z = 4 eq.(1)

3x + 2y + 4z = 17 eq.(2)

-x + 5y + z = 8 eq.(3)

Add the equations 1 and 3

so,

x + y - z + ( -x + 5y + z ) = 4 + 8

x + y - z - x + 5y + z = 12

6y = 12

y = 12/6 = 2

Substitute with y at eq. (1)

So,

x + 2 - z = 4

x - z = 4 - 2

x - z = 2 eq. (4)

Substitute with y at eq.(2)

3x + 2 * 2 + 4z = 17

3x + 4 + 4z = 17

3x + 4z = 17 - 4

3x + 4z = 13 eq.(5)

solve the equations (4) and (5) together

x - z = 2

3x + 4z = 13

Multiply [ x - z = 2 ] by 4

4x - 4z = 8

3x + 4z = 13

Add the last two equations

4x - 4z + 3x + 4z = 8 + 13

7x = 21

Divide both sides by 7

x = 21/7 = 3

So, x = 3 and y = 2

Substitute with the values of x and y at the equation [ -x + 5y + z = 8 ]

So,

-3 + 5 * 2 + z = 8

solve for z

-3 + 10 + z = 8

z = 8 + 3 - 10

z = 11 - 10 = 1

So,

x = 3 , y = 2 and z = 1

Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 125 and a standard deviation of 8 if 100 people are randomly selected find the probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 127

Answers

According to the normal distribution table, the probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 127 is 99.38%.

Given :

Blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 125 and a standard deviation of 8.

The formula of z-score is used to determine the probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 127. The formula of z score is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\frac{x - m}{\alpha } }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

Now, substitute the values of known terms in the above equation.

[tex]z = \frac{\frac{127 - 125}{8} }{\sqrt{100} }[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{\frac{2}{8} }{10} }[/tex]

Further, simplify the above expression.

z = 2.5

P(z < 2.5) = 0.9938

So, the probability is 99.38%.

Therefore, according to the normal distribution table, the probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 127 is 99.38%.

Answers

The largest possible value in the list is 35.

What is mean, median and mode?

Adding the numbers together and dividing the result by the total number of numbers in the list yields the arithmetic mean. An average is most frequently used to refer to this. The middle value in a list that is arranged from smallest to greatest is called the median. The value that appears the most frequently on the list is the mode.

Given: There is a list of 11 positive integers.

Has a mean of 10, a median of 9 and a unique mode of 8.

Since the mode (8) is less than the median (9), the mode can only appear (at most) 5 times since the mode is the 6th number in the list (assuming the list has been sorted in ascending order).

If so, the first five numbers can be 8, the following four numbers can be 9, and the next greatest number can be 10, which means the largest number must be 110 - (8 x 5 + 4 x 9 + 10) = 110 - 86 = 24.

The largest number must be 110 - 77 = 33 if the mode repeats just twice, in which case we can let the first ten numbers be 1, 2, 3, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13, totaling 77.

The biggest number in this scenario is 110 - 75 = 35 if the mode repeats itself three times. Alternatively, we can let the first ten numbers be 1, 1, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, and 11 totaling 75.

Therefore, the largest possible value of an integer in the list is, 35.
