A cat has a litter of 10 kittens. Find the probability that exactly 6 of the little furballs are female. Assume that male and female births are equally likely.

The answer that i got was 8/3

(m+11n)^2=(m+11n)(m+11n)=m^2+11mn+11mn+121n^2=m^2+22mn×121n^2 for example; use foil: (a+b)(a+b)first. a^2outside. abinside. ablast. b^2

So the first thing we do is to multiply the top equation by 3. the reason i want to do this is i notice there will be a 6y on both equations and can possibly add/subtract them. so we get 6y = -3x + 27. adding that and the second equation we get 6x = 27-15 which is 12. divide by 6 and we get 2. ∴ x = 2. substituting 2 into the first equation we get 2y = -2 + 9 which is 7. divide by 2 and we get 7/2. ∴ y = 7/2, x = 2.
