Male children. While it is often assumed that the probabilities of having a boy or a girl are the same, the actual probability of having a boy is slightly higher at 0.51. Suppose a couple plans to have 3 kids. A) Use the binomial model to calculate the probability that two of them will be boys. B) Write out all possible orderings of 3 children, 2 of whom are boys. Use these scenarios to calculate the same probability from part (a) but using the addition rule for disjoint outcomes. Confirm that your answers from parts (a) and (b) match. C) If we wanted to calculate the probability that a couple who plans to have 8 kids will have 3 boys, briefly describe why the approach from part (b) would be more tedious than the approach from part (a). 1) (32)0.512 ∗ 0.49 = 0.3822) BBG, BGB, GBB, GGB, GBG, BGG, GGG, BBBP(2boy) = BBG + GBB + BGBBBG + BGB + GBB + GGB + GBG + BGG + GGG + BBB = 3/8 = 0.375So since boy and girl has slight different probablity, two answer will be different but they are close3) Because using approach, you will have to list all 56 combinations

In a sample of 2023 u.s. adults, 373 said franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. two u.s. adults are selected at random from the population of all u.s. adults without replacement. assuming the sample is representative of all u.s. adults, complete parts (a) through (d). (a) find the probability that both adults say franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that both adults say franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) find the probability that neither adult says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that neither adult says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) find the probability that at least one of the two adults says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that at least one of the two adults says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) which of the events can be considered unusual? explain. select all that apply. the event in part left parenthesis a right parenthesis is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. the event in part (b) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. none of these events are unusual. the event in part (c) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.
