Determine the probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl assuming boys and girls are equally likely

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.5 = 50% probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl.

For each child, there are only two possible outcomes, either it is a boy, or it is a girl. The probability of a child being a boy or being a girl is independent of any other child, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

Two children, hence [tex]n = 2[/tex].Equally as likely to be a boy or a girl, hence [tex]p = 0.5[/tex].

The probability of one of each is P(X = 1), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{2,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.5[/tex]

0.5 = 50% probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl.

Given: DE is a midsegment of ∆C. Show all work. Find the value of x and y. What is the length of C?

Answers

Answer:

Find out the value of x.

To prove

Definition of mid- segment

It is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

It is always parallel to the third side, and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.

As shown in the triangle given below.

As given

DE = 5x and BC = 11x – 15

Thus

15 = 11x - 10x

15 = x

Therefore the value of x is 15 .

Answers

Combine the fractions on the left with a common denominator:

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

It follows that

[tex]3x^2+3x-2 = a(x+1)(x-1) + b(x+1)^2 + c(x-1)[/tex]

Expand the right side and collect like powers of x :

[tex]3x^2+3x-2 = a(x^2-1) + b(x^2+2x+1) + c(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]3x^2+3x-2 = (a+b)x^2 + (2b + c)x -a +b - c[/tex]

Then we have the system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}a+b=3\\2b+c=3\\-a+b-c=-2\end{cases}[/tex]

or in matrix form,

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\-1&1&-1\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}3\\3\\-2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Compute the determinant of the coefficient matrix:

[tex]\det\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\-1&1&-1\end{bmatrix} = -4[/tex]

Then the inverse of the coefficient matrix is equal 1/det times the adjugate of the coefficient matrix (a.k.a the transpose of the cofactor matrix):

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\-1&1&-1\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \dfrac1{-4} \begin{bmatrix}-3 & -1 & 2 \\ 1 & -1 & -2 \\ 1 & -1 & 2\end{bmatrix}^\top = -\dfrac14 \begin{bmatrix}3&-1&-1\\1&1&1\\-2&2&-2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by the inverse :

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\end{bmatrix} = -\dfrac14 \begin{bmatrix}3&-1&-1\\1&1&1\\-2&2&-2\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}3\\3\\-2\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}2\\1\\1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

So, we have a = 2 and b = c = 1, and the partial fraction decomposition is

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

Answer:

A = 2B = 1C = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

One can solve for a, b, c a little more directly than using a system of 3 equations.

If we multiply the rational expression by (x+1)², we get ...

  (3x² +3x -2)/(x -1) = (x+1)²(a/(x+1) +b/(x-1)) +c

Evaluating this for x = -1 gives ...

  (3(-1)² +3(-1) -2)/(-1 -1) = c

  -2/-2 = 1 = c

Similarly, multiplying by (x -1) gives ...

  (3x² +3x -2)/(x +1)² = (x -1)(a/(x +1) +c/(x +1)²) + b

Evaluating this for x = 1 gives ...

  (3·1² +3·1 -2)/(1 +1)² = b

  4/4 = 1 = b

Now, we need to find the value of 'a'. The identity will hold true for any value of x, so we can see what happens when we substitute x=0. We can use the values of 'b' and 'c' that we found above.

  (3·0² +3·0 -2)/((0 +1)²(0 -1)) = a/(0 +1) +1/(0 -1) +1/(0 +1)²

  -2/-1 = a -1 +1   ⇒   a = 2

_____

System of equations solution

When the terms of the right-side expansion are combined, the numerator of the result is ...

  a(x +1)(x -1) +b(x +1)^2 +c(x -1) = (a+b)x² +(2b+c)x +(-a+b-c) ≡ 3x² +3x -2

Equating the coefficients gives the system of equations whose augmented matrix is:

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&0&3\\0&2&1&3\\-1&1&-1&-2\end{array}\right][/tex]

Transforming this to reduced row-echelon form using any of a variety of available tools gives ...

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&2\\0&1&0&1\\0&0&1&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

which tells you the solution is (A, B, C) = (2, 1, 1).

Janine is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company.

Janine estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year. (She expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year.) She currently has $5,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. How much money will Janine have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal? Use Exhibit 1-A.

IRA Sum = $ 5000 Growth ratio of IRA= 8%Growth period = 40 years

Generally the equation for the IRA Amount  at Retirement  is mathematically given as

IAR= 5000 * 1.08^(40)

=  108622.6

Since estimate is at

$875,000  

Therefore

Accumulation in 401,000 = 875000 - 108622.6

Accumulation in 401,000 = 766377.4
