(a)
To determine: The probability model for the number of children such couples may have.
The probability model for the number of children is:
X | 1 | 2 | 3 |
P(X=x) | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0.25 |
Given information:
Boys and girls are equally likely.
Formula used:
Here, E is the favourable outcomes and S is the total possible outcomes.
Calculation:
Boys and girls are equally likely:
You have one chance in two that the first born is a girl, thus the probability that X = 1 is,
If the family has 2 children, then the first child was a boy and the second child was a girl, thus multiply the corresponding probabilities:
Since the total probability has to be equal to 1, Then find
Let us combine the found probabilities in a table:
X | 1 | 2 | 3 |
P(X=x) | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0.25 |
(b)
To determine: The expected number of children for the couples.
The expected number of children for the couples.is1.75

The expected amount is the sum of the product of the possibilities and its probabilities:
Hence, the expected number of children for the couples.is1.75

- 3.14 (B). A beam ABCD, 6 m long, is simply-supported at the right-hand end and at a point B Im from the left-hand end A. It carries a vertical load of 10 KN at A, a second concentrated load of 20 KN at C, 3 m from D, and a uniformly distributed load of 10 kN/m between C and D. Determine: (a) the values of the reactions at B and 0, (6) the position and magnitude of the maximum bending moment. [33 KN, 27 KN, 2.7 m from D, 36.45k Nm.]arrow_forward3.17 (B). A simply supported beam has a span of 6 m and carries a distributed load which varies in a linea manner from 30 kN/m at one support to 90 kN/m at the other support. Locate the point of maximum bendin moment and calculate the value of this maximum. Sketch the S.F. and B.M. diagrams. [U.L.] [3.25 m from l.h. end; 272 KN m 30. 90arrow_forward3.11 (B). A beam, 12 m long, is to be simply supported at 2m from each end and to carry a U.d.l of 30kN/m together with a 30 KN point load at the right-hand end. For ease of transportation the beam is to be jointed in two places, one joint being Situated 5 m from the left-hand end. What load (to the nearest KN) must be applied to the left-hand end to ensure that there is no B.M. at the joint (i.e. the joint is to be a point of contraflexure)? What will then be the best position on the beam for the other joint? Determine the position and magnitude of the maximum B.M. present on the beam. [114 KN, 1.6 m from r.h. reaction; 4.7 m from 1.h. reaction; 43.35 KN m.]arrow_forward
