A couple has 2 children. what is the probability that both are girls if the older of the two is a girl?

Answers

Answer 1
Assuming that the probability of boys and girls is equal (in reality slightly more boys than girls are born), the probability is 1/2, simply because the older girl's gender is given and therefore not a part of the probability.

This question comes from the 'boy or girl paradox', a.k.a. the Mrs Smith Problem.

Two spheres of the same density have a ratio of 4 to 9 in surface area. If the small sphere weighs 10 kg, what does the large sphere weigh?

Answers

w= 33.75, the weight of the larger sphere
We know the surface areas:

Sphere Surface Area     =     4 • π • r²
radius^2 = Surface Area / 4* PI
Let's say area of smaller sphere is 4 PI
radius^2 = 1
radius = 1
9/4 = 2.25
Area of the larger sphere = 4 * PI * 2.25
radius^2 = 2.25
radius = 1.5

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 • π • r³
Volume of larger sphere = 4/3 • π • 1.5^3
Volume of larger sphere = 3.375 times volume of smaller sphere

Mass of larger sphere = 3.375 * 10 kg
The larger sphere weighs 33.75 kg

D will satisfy this equation

4^2 + (-1)^2  = 17

answer is D  4 - i

Answer:

The complex number 4-i has distance  [tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex] from origin.

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the absolute value of complex plane.

If complex number is a+ib then absolute value [tex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

We have to check the absolute value of each option and check which is equal to [tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]

Option A:  2+15i

[tex]d=\sqrt{2^2+15^2}=\sqrt{4+225}=\sqrt{229}\neq \sqrt{17}[/tex]

Option B:  17+i

[tex]d=\sqrt{17^2+1^2}=\sqrt{289+1}=\sqrt{290}\neq \sqrt{17}[/tex]

Option C:  20-3i

[tex]d=\sqrt{20^2+3^2}=\sqrt{400+9}=\sqrt{409}\neq \sqrt{17}[/tex]

Option D:  4-i

[tex]d=\sqrt{4^2+1^2}=\sqrt{16+1}=\sqrt{17}= \sqrt{17}[/tex]

Hence, The complex number 4-i has distance  [tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex] from origin.

Which equation is not a quadratic equation?
y = 3x2 + 2
y = 5x - 2
y = -x2
y = 5x2 - 2x + 7

Answers

A quadratic equation is usually in the form:

[tex]ax^{2} +bx +c[/tex]

where a, b and c are the coefficients of the expression and a ≠ 0. 

If a = 0, the equation becomes a linear expression and is no longer quadratic.

Hence, in the above options; y = 5x -2 is the only one that is not a quadratic equation.

The lifetime of a supertough aaa battery is normally distributed with mean of 28.5 hours and standard deviation of 5.3 hours. for a battery selected at random, what is the probability that the lifetime will be 25 hours or less?

Answers

To answer this item, we are first to determine the z-score of the presented data using the equation,

                          z-score = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the data, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

Substituting the known values,

                          z-score = (25 - 28.5)/5.3

                          z-score = -0.66

This translates to a percentage equal to 25.46%.

Therefore, from the supertough aaa batteries, approximately 25.46% has a lifetime that is only about 25 hours or less. 

Which of the following statements is the converse of the statement "If each of two angles has a measure of 28 degrees, then the two angles are equal in measure"?

Answers

the converse would be

If the 2 angles are equal in measure the each of the 2 angles has a measure of 28 degrees.

AS you see in this example , the converse is not necessarily true.

Answer:

If two angles are equal in measure then each of the two angles has a measure of 28 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The converse of a statement is found by switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.

The hypothesis is the part that comes after "if" and the conclusion is the part that comes after "then."

This means the hypothesis is "each of two angles has a measure of 28 degrees" and the conclusion is "the two angles are equal in measure."

This gives us the converse "If two angles are equal in measure then each of the two angles has a measure of 28 degrees."

An acute angle θ is in a right triangle with sin θ = two thirds . What is the value of cot θ?

Answers

check the picture below.

Answer:

six divided by the square root of thirteen

Step-by-step explanation:

hey there,

< sin θ = [tex]\frac{O}{H}[/tex]

So that means O = 2 and H = 3. In order to find cot θ, first let's find tan θ.

tan θ = [tex]\frac{O}{B}[/tex]

We only know what O is equal to, not B. So let's draw out a triangle.

7  

◢   6

 B

As you can see (sorry for the poor triangle), this is a right triangle. In order to find an unknown part, use [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]!

[tex]6^2 + B^2 = 7^2[/tex]

B = ±√13

Obviously, a side of a triangle can't be negative, so it stays positive. Now we can find tangent!

tanθ =  [tex]\frac{6}{\sqrt{13} }[/tex]

But, we're not done here. We're trying to find cotθ.

cotθ = [tex]\frac{1}{tan}[/tex]θ

[tex]\frac{1}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{13} } }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{13} }{6}[/tex]

Maggie’s brother is 12 years younger that three times her age . The sun of their ages is 44 . How old is Maggie

Answers

I'm not sure if this is right but you can set up an equation and solve to find Maggie's age:

Maggie's brother's age = b
Maggie's age = m

b = 12 - 3m
44 = 12-3m
12-3m = 44
-12 -12
-3m = 32
÷ 3 ÷3
m = 10.67

So this would be Maggie's age

Ship A receives a distress signal from the northeast and ship B receives a distress signal from the same vessel from the west. At what location is the vessel in distress located? Describe how you arrived at your conclusion using complete sentences.

Answers

First plot the points.
Second based on the two directions from the points you know that up is north, Right is east, West is left, and down is south on the graph.
Draw a line from the two points in the direction that it says the ship received the call from. 
so the ship is at Ordered pair 3,3 :) 

Coordinate geometry is the use of a 2D plane to represent the location of points. The position or location of the distress is in the first quadrant.

The coordinates of ship A and B are not given. So, I will give a general explanation.

On the four cardinal points,

North is upwardsEast is at the rightWest is at the leftSouth is downward

So, if ship A receives a distress from the northeast, then it means that the distress is coming from a location at the top right of A. i.e. the first quadrant.

Also, ship B receives distress from the west. This means that ship B is at the right-hand side of the distress.

So, we can conclude that the position or location of the distress is at the first quadrant.

It is impossible to determine the actual coordinates of the distress because the coordinates are not given (see attachment possible illustration)

What is a permutation?

A permutation is defined as a mathematical process that determines the number of different arrangements in a set of objects when the order of the sequential arrangements.

There are 10 options for each of the 5 digits in the personal identification code (0 through 9). Since the order of the digits matters, we can use the formula for the number of permutations of n items taken r at a time, which is:

n!/(n-r)!

In this case, n is the number of options (10) and r is the number of items (5). Plugging these values into the formula gives us:

10!/(10-5)! = 10!/(5!) = 109876 = 30,240

Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 30,240.

Because the car that has a terrible oil leak not only as a new battery for the van but also slows him down because he needs the Atwell after every hundred miles of driving he drives 100 miles every two hours it takes him 15 minutes to add oil how long should it take him to drive 500 miles

Answers

11 hours and 15 minutes to drive 500 miles

To drive 500 miles, taking into account both driving time and oil stop time, it would take 11 hours and 15 minutes.

He drives 100 miles every 2 hours, so to drive 500 miles he would take 10 hours (5 segments of 100 miles each).He needs to add oil every 100 miles, which takes 15 minutes each time. Therefore, for the 500-mile trip, he would spend an additional 75 minutes (5 segments x 15 minutes each).Adding the driving time and oil stop time, he would take 10 hours (driving) + 1 hour 15 minutes (oil stops) = 11 hours 15 minutes to drive 500 miles.

Use the distributive property to expand the following expression. -3(6.3x + 7y - 2.5)

Answers

The expression -3(6.3x + 7y - 2.5) expands to -18.9x - 21y + 7.5 using the distributive property by multiplying each term inside the parentheses by -3.

To use the distributive property to expand the expression -3(6.3x + 7y - 2.5), you multiply each term inside the parentheses by -3. The distributive property lets you reverse the distributive law and turn it into factors (multiples).

-3 × 6.3x = -18.9x
-3 × 7y = -21y
-3 ×-2.5 = 7.5

Once each term is multiplied, the expanded expression is:   -18.9x - 21y + 7.5

Answers

x^2 - 16
--------
4x + 24


when x = -6 the denominator 4x+24 = 0   so there is a discontinuity at x = -6

This is a vertical asymptote x = -6

There is also a sloping asymptote  - you find this by getting the quotient 
which is y = 0.25x - 1.5  This is the equation of this asymptote.

Answer:

x= -6 is the point of discontinuity.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the expression

[tex]\frac{x^2-16}{4x+24}[/tex]

The first thing to find the discontinuity is to factorize the given rational function:

After factorization  we get:

We will use [tex]a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)[/tex]

[tex]here, a=x\text{and}b=4[/tex] we will get:

[tex](x+4)(x-4)=x^2-4^2[/tex]

we will get:

[tex]\frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{4(x+6)}[/tex]

Discontinuity is the point where value of the function becomes not defined

Here, the point of discontinuity is -6 because when denominator becomes zero. function becomes not defined.

It has vertical asymptote but function is not defined.

Hence it is the point of discontinuity.

Which formula is used to find circular mil area?

Answers

The term circular mil is common in expressing the cross sectional area of a wire. Electrical wires have very minute diameters that are often measured a thousandth of an inch. Hence, when you find the area of the circular wire, for convenience, the unit used is circular mil which is equivalent to one-thousandth of an inch. 

For example, a wire has a diameter of 6×10⁻⁵ inches. To find its area:

A = πr² = π( 6×10⁻⁵ /2)² = 2.83×10⁻⁹ in²

Since 1 mil = 1/1000 (inch) or 0.001 inch

A =  (2.83×10⁻⁹ in²)* (1 mil/ 0.001 inch)²
A = 0.00283 circular mils

una pizzeria hace pizzas de varios tamaños y las vende en cajas hexagonales de 39 cm de lado y 4.7 cm de alto ¿que cantidad de cartón se anestesia para cada caja teniendo en cuenta q la caja esta formado por dos partes compuestas de una base lateral ?

Answers

Final answer:

To calculate the amount of cardboard used for each box, we need to find the surface area of the hexagonal base and the lateral surface area. We can use the formula for the surface area of a hexagon to find the base area. Then, we multiply it by the height of the box and add the two areas together.

Explanation:

To find the amount of cardboard used for each box, we need to calculate the surface area of the hexagonal base and the lateral surface area. The surface area of a hexagon can be found using the formula:

Surface Area = 3 x √3 x s^2

where s is the length of the side of the hexagon. Given that the side length is 39 cm, we can substitute this into the formula to find the surface area of the hexagonal base. Once we have the surface area, we can calculate the lateral surface area by multiplying it by the height of the box, which is 4.7 cm. Adding the two areas together will give us the total amount of cardboard used for each box.
