Question

Jordan uses a random number generator to simulate the possible genders for a set of triplets. an even number represents the outcome of a baby girl and an odd number represents the outcome of a baby boy. joe creates a tree diagram to show the set of outcomes for the genders of the three babies. which of the outcomes represent a set of triplets with 1 girl and 2 boys?

outcome 1 odd, odd, odd; outcome 2 odd, odd, even; outcome 3 odd even odd; outcome 4 odd, even, even; outcome 5 even, odd, odd; outcome 6 even, odd, even; outcome 7 even, even, odd;
outcome 8 even, even, even.

O outcome 3
O outcome 6
O outcome 2
O outcome 1
O outcome 8
O outcome 5
O outcome 7
O outcome 4

Answer 1

The outcomes that represent a set of triplets with 1 girl and 2 boys are: Outcome 2 (odd, odd, even), Outcome 3 (odd, even, odd), and Outcome 5 (even, odd, odd). Option 1,2 and 6 are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jordan uses a random number generator to simulate the possible genders for a set of triplets. In this scenario, an even number represents the outcome of a baby girl, and an odd number represents the outcome of a baby boy. Joe creates a tree diagram to show the set of outcomes for the genders of the three babies, and we are looking for the outcome(s) that represent a set of triplets with 1 girl and 2 boys.

The outcomes that fit this criterion will have two odd numbers (representing boys) and one even number (representing a girl). Let's examine the outcomes listed.

To answer the question, the outcomes that represent a set of triplets with 1 girl and 2 boys are: Outcome 2 (odd, odd, even), Outcome 3 (odd, even, odd), and Outcome 5 (even, odd, odd).
