Achromosome mutation believed to be linked with colorblindness is known to occur, on the average, once in every 10,000 births. if 20,000 babies are born this year in a certain city:
1. what is the probability that at least one will develop colorblindness?
2. what is the exact probability model that applies here?
3. approximate the probability that 2 or more babies will develop colorblindness, using the appropriate poisson model.

0.8647,0.5940

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a chromosome mutation believed to be linked with colorblindness is known to occur, on the average, once in every 10,000 births.

Hence for a sample of 20000 babies we can take average as 2.

2) Since n is very large and p is small but np is finite Poisson model applies here.

1)  the probability that at least one will develop colorblindness

=

3)  the probability that 2 or more babies will develop colorblindness, using the appropriate Poisson model.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
