A mother and father and their three children randomly stand in a row for a family picture. What is the probability that the mother will be standing to the immediate right of the father?
Write your answer as a decimal rounded to 1 decimal place.
Homework Answers
Total ways = 5! = 120
When mother is immediate right of the father then we combine them and assume as one person. So, now we have 4 people and 4 places. Total ways = 4! = 24
P(mother is immediate right of father) = 24/120 = 0.2
I hope this will help. Thank you.

FAMILY TEAMS Four families, each with four members (mother, father, daughter and son) apply to attend a competition. Three teams of three people will be selected. Each team will have exactly one mother, one father and one child (daughter or son) and none of the members will be from the same family. How many different ways the teams can be formed?

Suppose that the genders of the three children of a certain family are soon to be revealed. Outcomes are thus triples of "girls" (g) and "boys" (b), which we write gbg, bbb, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of boys in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is gbb, then R(gbb) = 2. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: X=2R-2. The values of X...

"What do you think is the ideal number of children for a family to have?" A Gallup Poll asked this question of 1016 randomly chosen adults. Almost half (49%) thought two children was ideal.† We are supposing that the proportion of all adults who think that two children is ideal is p = 0.49. B) What is the probability that a sample proportion p̂ falls between 0.46 and 0.52 if the sample is an SRS of size n = 5000?...
