Tis commonly assumed that babies are equally likely to come as either a boy or a girl. this is not true. actually, about 51.3% of all babies are boys. if a family has two children (not twins), what is the probability they have one boy and one girl?

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 0.50 = 50 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the family has two children, we need to find what is the probability they have one boy and one girl.

Probability for babies are boys = 51.3% = 0.513

Probability for babies are girls = 1 - 0.513 = 0.487

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 1 -  probability that they have two boys - probability that they have two girls

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 1 - 0.513² - 0.487² = 0.499 = 0.50

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 0.50 = 50%

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.

the answer is 489
