GP 3 Week 3 (DUE 1/29/16)
At a baby shower, we started discussing baby statistics. One of the women told us she had heard a report that for every 100 babies born, there were 6 more boys than girls. If we were to randomly pick a child from a representative group, what is the probability of picking a girl?

Wow Andy!! Did you just copy and paste Jesse's answer? The answer is not 38 and you even have the same typing errors.

ReplyDeleteI got 47% chance of picking a girl. If you split 100 in have, you get 50. So since it has to be 6 away, I split 6 in have and added 3 to 50 and subtracted 3 from 50 and got 53 out of 100 boys and 47 out of 100 girls.

ReplyDeleteMy answer is the probability of picking a girl is 47%. First you divide 100 by 2 , and get 50. Then you divide 6 by 2, and get 3. Then you add 3 and 50 together, and you get 53. So it's 53/100 boys. But it's also 47/100 girls.

ReplyDeleteThe probability of girls is 47. If u divid 100 and 50 by 2 then u get 50 and 3. So u subtract 50 by 3 and you get 47. Since there were 6 more boys than girls the 47 would be girls and the 53 would be boys.So its 47 Out of 100 girls and 53 out of 100 boys.

The probability of a girl would be a 47% chance. First, if you split 100 in half to get 50. Then split the 6 in half and add the 3 from the split 6 to 50,Then subtract 3 from the split 6 from the other 50. So in total, it would 53 out of 100 boys and 47 out of 100 girls

(P)of a girl would be a 47% chance. If you split 100 in half to get 50. Then I split 6 in have and added 3 to 50. Then you would get 47 out of 100 girls and 53 out of 100 boys.

Deletethe probability of a girl is 47%. how i got my answer is i first divided 100 and got 50. then i divided 6 and got 3. then i added 3 to 50 and got 53% and subtracted 3 from 50 and got 47%.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I did was split 100 in half and you get 50. Then I split 6 in half and got 3, subtracted 3 from 50 which is 47. 47% of picking a girl. The other 53% is boys.

ReplyDeleteI got a 47% chance of picking a girl. If you split 100 in half, you get 50. Since it has to be 6 away, I had split 6 in have and added 3 to 50 and subtracted 3 from 50 and got 53% out of 100 boys and 47% out of 100 girls.
47% is the probably of a girl. I got that by dividing 100 by 2 and got 50. Next I did 6 divided by 2 and got 3. Then I added 3 to 50 and got 53% and got 47%.

ReplyDelete47% us the probability of it being a girl.
First I divided 100 by 2 and got 50.
Next I divided 6 by 2.
Then subtracted 3 from fifty and got 47 then added 3 to fifty and got 53.
So 47 out of the 100 are girls.
So the probability of picking a girl is 47%. First I divided 100/2 and got 50. Then you divide 6/2 and get 3. Then add 50+3 and get 53. So its 53/100 boys.
ReplyDeleteThe probability of picking a girl is a %47. How I got this answer is that I divided 100 and 2 to get 50. Then I divided 6 and 2 to get 3. Then I added 50 and 3 to get 53. So there would be 53 boys out of 100 and 47 girls out of 100
ReplyDeleteJackson 1: The answer is that the probability of a girl is 47%. I got this answer because half of 100 is 50. After that, I divided 6 and got 3. After doing that, I added 3 to 50 and got 53% and I subtracted 3 from 50 and then the final answer I got was 47%.

ReplyDeleteThe probability of picking the girl is 47%. How I got this answer is you have to divide 100 by 2 which is 50 and then you divide 6 by 2 to get 3 then add 3 to 50 and get 53 the probability for the boy is 53%.

ReplyDeleteThe probability of picking a girl is 47%. I first divided 10 by 2 and got 50. So then I subtracted 50 by 3 and added 50 by 3.
