Total time for the three bongs are 3 seconds. between two bongs there is a time interval and thus for striking three times the clock has to complete two time intervals plus the bong. Hence time interval for each 'dash' is 3/2 = 1.5 seconds. Now to strike seven times the clock has to do Bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong - and there are 6 time intervals or dashes inbetween. we have earlier seen the time taken for one time interval is 1.5 seconds and hence the time for 6 time intervals is = 6*1.5 = 9 seconds. So the time taken for the clock to strike seven is 9 seconds. read less

Cystic Fibrosis is the most common generic disease in white european and american populations.It results from one of a nmber of mutations in a single gene that codes for a protien involved in the transport of salts in the cells of the body. The cystic fibrosis gene is described as recessive , which means that individuals with only one copy of the gene so called carriers , show no symptoms of the disease and manny be unaware that they carry the gene. Individuals with two copies of the faculty CF gene will show symptom of the condition. Among white europeons,the probability of being a carrier is 1/25. For a child whose parents are both carriers, the probability of inheriting a copy of the CF gene from both parents is 1/4. a)What is the probability that any two white Europeans planning to have a child together would both be carriers? b) What is the probability of the child having cystic fibrosis?
Dear kulwinder the answer to ur first question is that u have already stated 1/25 Europeans. and every 1 child out of 4 can have the chances of having the nasty disease.
