1. Suppose a married man and woman both carry the gene for cystic fibrosis but don't
have the disease themselves. According to the laws of genetics, the probability that
any child they have will develop cystic fibrosis is .25.
a) Explain what this probability means.

b) If the couple has 4 children, is one of them guaranteed to have cystic fibrosis.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Probability is the chance or possibility that an event will occur.

b) No,

just as the question states there is a 25% chance of this event happening in a child, so no matter the number of children they have the chances of them getting cystic fibrosis is 25% for each child and it's never guaranteed.

Rewriting the expression 6000(1.007)24 in which of these ways would be useful in calculating the rate of interest he will pay each year?

Answers

The ways that would be useful in calculating the rate of interest he will pay each year is:  6000(1.007)^12×2

Rate of interest

Using this formula

Rate of interest=Principal(1+Rate)^nt

Where:

Principal=$6,000

Rate=0.7%

Time=2 years

Number of months =12 months

Let plug in the formula

Rate of interest=6000(1+.007)^12×2

Rate of interest=6000(1.007)^24

Rate of interest=$7,093.47

Answers

The table models an exponential relationship, and the equation of the table is [tex]y = 4(1/2)^x[/tex]

How to analyze the table of values?

The table of values is given as:

x  0   1    2   3    4

y  4   2    1   1/2  1/4

The above table shows an exponential model

An exponential model is represented as:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

When x = 0 and y = 4, we have

[tex]ab^0 = 4[/tex]

Evaluate

a = 4

When x = 1 and y = 2, we have

[tex]ab^1 = 2[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]ab = 2[/tex]

Substitute 4 for a

4b  = 2

Divide both sides by 4

b = 1/2

Substitute 4 for a and 1/2 for b in [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 4(1/2)^x[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the table is [tex]y = 4(1/2)^x[/tex]

98% of 50 is what number

Answers

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 50 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 50 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50=100%.

4. We know, that x is 98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 50=100%

2) x=98%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

50/x=100%/98%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 98% of 50

50/x=100/98

(50/x)*x=(100/98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

50=1.02040816327*x      - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.02040816327) to get x

50/1.02040816327=x

49=x

x=49

now we have:

98% of 50 = 49

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

It's really quite simple lad. 50 times 98 is equal to 4900. then you just divide 4900 by 100 and you get your answer, 49. 98% is also 98/100, keep that in mind. Better luck next time haha you

Algebra 2!! Which graph represents the following piecewise defined function?
-2x, x <-1
f(x) = -1,-1 x-1, x>2

Answers

The graph that defines the following piece-wise function is given by:

f(x) = -2x, x < -1.[tex]f(x) = -1, -1 \leq x < 2[/tex].[tex]f(x) = x - 1, x \geq 2[/tex].

What is a piece-wise function?

It is a function that has different definitions based on the input.

In this problem, for x less than -1, the function is a line going through points (-1,2) and (-2,4), hence the slope is:

m = 4 - 2/(-2 - (-1)) = -2.

The slope of -2 means that it also passes through (0,0), hence the function is:

y = -2x.

For x between -1(inclusive) and 2(exclusive), it is a constant function at y = -1.

For x equal or greater than 2, the function is a line going through points (2,1) and (4,3), hence the slope is:

m = (3 - 1)/(4 - 2) = 1.

The slope of 1 means that the function passes through (0,-1), hence the function is:

y = x - 1.

Hence the piece-wise function is defined by:

f(x) = -2x, x < -1.[tex]f(x) = -1, -1 \leq x < 2[/tex].[tex]f(x) = x - 1, x \geq 2[/tex].

A box is in the shape of a rectangular prism. kristi is trying to ship boxes of her homemade granola trail mix. the box she is using to ship has the dimensions of 18in by 24in by 12in. each trail mix box has dimensions of 4in by 3in by 3in. how many trail mix boxes will fit into the box to be shipped? explain how you got your answer.

Answers

The number of rectangular trail mix box that will fit into the rectangular box to be shipped is 144.

Volume of a rectangular prism

The volume of a rectangular prism is represented as follows;

volume of rectangular prism = lwh

where

l = lengthw = widthh = height

Therefore,

volume of the box = 18 × 24 × 12 = 5184 inches³

Therefore, the volume of each trail mix box is as follows:

volume = 4 × 3 × 3 = 36 inches³

Therefore,

number of trail mix box that can fit the box to be shipped = 5184 / 36 = 144

#SPJ4

Answer:

144 (100% correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of trail mix boxes that will fit into the shipping box, we need to compare the volumes of the two boxes.

First, let's calculate the volume of the shipping box (rectangular prism):

Volume of the shipping box = length * width * height

Volume of the shipping box = 18 in * 24 in * 12 in

Volume of the shipping box = 5184 cubic inches

Next, let's calculate the volume of each trail mix box (rectangular prism):

Volume of each trail mix box = length * width * height

Volume of each trail mix box = 4 in * 3 in * 3 in

Volume of each trail mix box = 36 cubic inches

Now, we divide the volume of the shipping box by the volume of each trail mix box to find the number of trail mix boxes that will fit:

Number of trail mix boxes = Volume of the shipping box / Volume of each trail mix box

Number of trail mix boxes = 5184 cubic inches / 36 cubic inches

Number of trail mix boxes = 144

Therefore, 144 trail mix boxes will fit into the shipping box.( For confirmation to those who need it)
