Question:

A couple plans to have children until they get a girl, but they agree they will not have more than 3 children, even if all are boys. Assume that the probability of having a girl is 55%

a.)

X P(X=x)

1 _?__

2 _?__

3 _?__

b.) E(X) = __?__

c.) E(number of boys) = __?__

Can someone please explain how to solve this for the __?__ spaces?

I am utterly confused!!!!

I put in an offer on a property, but I got a counter offer from the bank 27k higher than my offer. I want to counter offer, but I am being told that the bank is looking at back up offers, and that I should just accept the banks counter or lose the property. Is this really this case? I really feel like the price should be at least 5k lower? What options do I have? What questions should I ask my real estate agent?

Any help would be great from either a bank loan person who handles short sale offers or a realty agent with short sale experience! Thank you!

I’m 71/2 months pregnant with my second child. My husband and I have been together for 8 years, married for 5 – I recently found out he’s having an affair at with a co-worker. He tells me that he loves her more than anyone he’s ever been with. He hasn’t actually committed to leaving me and our children, just forced me to live in limbo. He talked about reconciliation and going to counseling, but then I found out he was lying to me, and is still seeing the other woman.

The other woman is going thru a divorce and has 2 kids of her own, the youngest about 1 yr. Our oldest child is 3 and has diabetes. I am on disability for an injury, yes, while pregnant and have been virtually housebound for 7 months. I know that I’m vulnerable. I’m scared that I’m letting him walk on me, because I don’t want to be a single parent. Has anyone gone thru something similar, got advice? Did it work out for you?

PS I’m using a friends account to ask this.

(Im a girl icon is a boy) My husband and I are having distinct issues with our roommates. We started renting a house from a family member 3 years ago. We invited one of my friends to live with us. This friend was/is like a brother to me. He has since eloped (a year ago) with a girl we tolerate, but do not really like. They have continued living with us since. We never suggested they leave when they got married because he was attending a community college and working part time 10-20 hrs a week. She also worked part time but was not attending school. We gave them a discount on rent due to their financial stress and they only paid $350 a month for rent, utilities, gym membership and cell phone. Recently 4 months ago, they both got good jobs with the same company. They have paid off all of their debt and managed to save 20k for a down payment on a house. We recently raised the rent back to the undiscounted rate of $400 – even though this doesn’t even cover half of the house costs.

My company’s 401K is a Putnam Account.

Not the greatest. I recently made some changes and I would like to know if anyone out there has experience or advice for me on my choices. I’m definitely a novice when it comes to my investments.

I contribute approx $370 per month to my 401k

(not a lot of money, but it’s better than nothing!)

I just changed my distribution to 20% allocation to each of the following :

PABGX T Rowe Price Blue chip Growth ( Annual Gross Expense Ratio 0.95% )

RGACX Growth Fund of America (A.G.E.R. 0.96%)

(No Symbol ? ) Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund (A.G.E.R. 0.35%)

ACGIX Van Camp Growth & Income (A.G.E.R. 0.77%)

PDDXX Putnam Money Market Fund (A.G.E.R. 0.54%)

I also have approx 5k in PABAX Putnam Asset Allocation Balanced (AGER 1.09%) &

I have about 1700 in PAEAX Putnam Asset Allocation Growth (AGER 1.16%)

If you have suggestions… I would really appreciate knowing why I should change or remain the same!

Thank you for viewing my ques

I want to start a deck. Can anyone give me advise and tell me if either of these would be a good idea? I don't want to waste my money, but I do want to get the most usable for my dollar!

We plugged in the vacuum last night and it appeared to blow a circuit breaker. We reset all the breakers and that circuit has not and will not come back on? We tested the breaker box and it still has power on that circuit. We also checked that wall socket for any corroded wires etc. Any suggestions on things that we should check ourself before calling an electrician? I would really hate to pay $50 an hour for a simple problem!!!

Thanks!

I left the CD on and a minute or two after track 13 ended Irvine - another hidden track came on. Does anyone know why or what its called? Why wasn't it listed on the CD ?

I want to know why almost everyone I know disregards the earth - refuses to buy alternative products with less packaging & even worse... they don't recycle? I keep hearing people say that recycling is worse for the enviroment because of fuel/energy used to reuse the materials. How is that worse than the rape of earth for the resource to begin with and then the fuel/energy used to create the item? What about the fuel used to transport garbage to landfills and the cost to bury the garbage / rent the land? When will people start valuing the earth and realize that the point of no return is so close? Do you live green? Why or Why Not?

never put anyone else in charge of your happiness.

You shold never make someone a priority when they see you as an option.

I think these are great mottos for everyone.

What do you think?

My wife and I have approx. $9,000 in credit card debt - $7,500 on one card thats 14% interest and the rest on a card thats 18% interest. We have an online money market savings account that yeilds 4.75% - My question is should I be paying every dollar towards paying down the debt or should I be putting money into our savings - we want to buy a house in the next year or so. finance articles always say to pay yourself first... but I'm torn. Any thoughts?

I'm over weight by 40-50 lbs (off my ideal weight) I'm in the over weght category / barely missing the obese category for BMI.

I want to know ... if as a whole ... America is tipping the scales because we don't see fat as a negative. (this excludes people with a normal BMI - healthy weight) honestly I look in the mirror and some times think .. whoa .. I got fat. But i don't carry that negative image of myself in my head and continue eating things I like, regardless of the fact that they contribute/maintain my current weight. What do you think?

I have two friends. She lives in Wyoming, he lives in Washington (where i live) I invited them to Las Vegas for my wedding and they "hooked up". I know that there are serious issues (deal breakers) between them and felt like I should be honest with each of them about eachother. I told him that she was a job-jumping, bi-polar, slut ( she decided to sleep with him before they even met or spoke). Who definately has issues. I told her that he's a OCD (obssessive compulsive disorder), who victimizes women and only views them for sex( he wanted to know if she'd move to WA immediately after sleeping with him). She was previously engaged twice. He doesn't believe in marraige or living together. Now, they've shut me out of their lives - so that their new found long distance relationship an be given a chance to "work". I appologised to each of them for telling the other their "faults" - but they're still shuting me out. How can I get my individual friends back?

My wife and I have been disputing a problem another married couple we know is having. We are 24-26 - So are our friends. They have been married for 3 yrs and have a 2 yrs old. The husband has not worked or brought in any money to provide for his family. The wife is paying all the bills and doing most of the child rearing when not at work. They are way over their head in debt - over due car payments outrageous rent. The wife complains to my wife about the husband and their situation. The husband does not talk about it to me or our friends and has been going golfing with us (without the knowledge of his wife) My wife feels like we are aiding and abedding his actions - I think that if he spends money golfing - then its none of our business what is going on personally between them. (My wife was friends with her since HS & I have been friends with him since HS) Should I tell him I'm uncomfortable knowing the problems they are having and how he is acting? Or should I stay out of it completly

What is the best way to do that? I already tried Ebay.

(ya - the icon is my husband... ignore that! LOL)

I've been thinking about it.... does it work?

Salons use natural vegatable dye which only last a week or two before fading. I'm looking for something a little more permanent. Any suggestions?

My eyebrows are very blonde.... you can't tell they are there... it makes me look a little freakish!

I just want to know if I need a real estate agent... or just a loan officer? What dumb things should I avoid? Does anyone know?
