The sample space listing the eight simple events that are possible when a couple has three children is {bbb, bbg, bgb, bgg, gbb, gbg, ggb, 999). After identifying the sample space for a couple having four children, find the probability of getting one girl and three
boys in any order).

bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb,

bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, gbbg, ggbb,

bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb,

Step-by-step explanation:

3 children: bbb, bbg, bgb, gbb, bgg, gbg, ggb, ggg

4 children: , bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb, bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, ggbb, bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb,

You need to take a methodological approach;

The 2 easiest are the possibility of all boys and all girls;

Then consider 3 boys and 1 girl:

bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb

Then 2 boys and 2 girls:

bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, gbbg, ggbb

Lastly, 1 boy and 3 girls:

bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb

In total, there are 16 possibilities

P.S. interesting to note is that the number of possibilities here follows the pattern of Pascal's triangle:

       1

     1   1

   1  2  1

 1  3  3  1

1  4  6  4  1

The last row is relevant here;

There is 1 possibility where there are 4 boys;

There are 4 possibilities (in terms of the order of birth) where there are 3 boys and 1 girl;

There are 6 possibilities where there are 2 boys and 2 girls

There are 4 possibilities where there is 1 boy and 3 girls;

There is 1 possibility where there are 4 girls;

The pattern ∴ is 1 4 6 4 1, as the 5th row of Pascal's triangle reads;

If your talking about 3 children, it would match the 4th row of Pascal's triangle;

So, 1 possibility of 3 boys;

3 possibilities of 2 boys and 1 girl;

3 possibilities of 1 boy and 2 girls;

And 1 possibility of 3 girls;

If your talking about 10 children, it would match the 11th row of Pascal's triangle.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
