(a) Consider a class with 30 students. Compute the probability that at least two of them have their birthdays on the same day. (For simplicity, ignore the leap year.) (b) How many students should be in class in order to have this probability above 0.5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) 0.7063

b.) 23

Step-by-step explanation:

a.)

Let X be an event in which at least 2 students have same birthday

     Y be an event in which no student have same birthday.

Now,

P(X) + P(Y) = 1

⇒P(X) = 1 - P(Y)

as we know that,

Probability of no one has birthday on same day = P(Y)

⇒P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{n} (365-n)! }[/tex]      where there are n people in a group

As given,

n = 30

⇒P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{30} (365-30)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{30} (335)! }[/tex] = 0.2937

∴ we get

P(X) = 1 - 0.2937 = 0.7063

So,

The probability that at least two of them have their birthdays on the same day  =  0.7063

b.)

Given, P(X) > 0.5

As

P(X) + P(Y) = 1

⇒P(Y) ≤ 0.5

As

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{n} (365-n)! }[/tex]

We use hit and trial method

If n = 1 , then

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{1} (365-1)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{1} (364)! }[/tex]  = 1 [tex]\nleq[/tex] 0.5

If n = 5 , then

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{5} (365-5)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{5} (360)! }[/tex]  = 0.97 [tex]\nleq[/tex] 0.5

If n = 10 , then

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{10} (365-10)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{10} (354)! }[/tex]  = 0.88 [tex]\nleq[/tex] 0.5

If n = 15 , then

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{15} (365-15)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{15} (350)! }[/tex]  = 0.75 [tex]\nleq[/tex] 0.5

If n = 20 , then

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{20} (365-20)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{20} (345)! }[/tex]  = 0.588 [tex]\nleq[/tex] 0.5

If n = 22 , then

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{22} (365-22)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{22} (343)! }[/tex]  = 0.52 [tex]\nleq[/tex] 0.5

If n = 23 , then

P(Y) = [tex]\frac{365!}{(365)^{23} (365-23)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{23} (342)! }[/tex]  = 0.49 [tex]\nleq[/tex] 0.5

∴ we get

Number of students should be in class in order to have this probability above 0.5 = 23

A math student has a plan to solve the following system by the elimination method. To eliminate the x-terms, he wants to multiply the top equation by 7. What
should he multiply the second equation by so that when he adds the equations, the x-terms are eliminated?
-3x-7--56
-7x+10y - 1

Answers

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

7(-3x-7y-56)

-21x-49y-392

-3(-7x+10y-1)

21x-30y+3

because the eq. multiplied by 7 is negative, the second eq mus be positive in order to eliminate the x variable. this is why we multiply by a (-). by multiplying the second eq by 3, both eq. will result in a coefficient of 21. one positive one negative allowing the x variable to be eliminated from the problem.

answer and show work and ill give brainliest, Steven has one bag that contains three table-tennis balls numbered 1, 2, and 3. He also has a second bag that contains four table-tennis balls lettered A, B, C, and D.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming Part A is the situation where the bags aren't merged, the probability of drawing a "1" followed by a "B" is (1/3)(1/4) or 1/12. This is because you have a 1/3 chance of getting a "1" and a 1/4 chance of getting a "B".

Now if we merge the bags, we have a 1/7 chance of getting a "1". We then have a 1/6 chance of getting a "B". This is because after we complete the first draw, the bag only has 6 remaining not 7. This gives us a probability of (1/7)(1/6) or 1/42.

So we know the probability will change so C is wrong. In both scenarios, we draw two balls anyways so A is wrong.

This leaves B, which is supported by the reasoning presented above.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3+9x^2-25x-33=0

There are formulas to solve cubics, but that probably is not the way you are expected to go.  Here is a trial and error approach that works in this case.

Assume that the cubic can be factored and that the roots are r1, r2, and r3.  Then the factored form is

(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)=0

This shows that the constant must equal the product of the roots.

(r1)(r2)(r3)=-33

One possibility is that the roots are integers.  In this case, a factor of 33 might work.  Prime factorization of 33 gives 3 and 11.  Try 3.  Then (x-3) is a factor.

Divide the cubic by (x-3).  It works. the result is

x^2+12x+11

This has factors of (x+11) and (x+1).  Therefore, the roots are 3, -1, and -11

x+y = 10        then y = 10-x

25x+40y = 355

substitute for y

25x+40(10-x) = 355

25x+400-40x = 355

-15x+400 = 355

subtract 400 from each side

divide both sides by -15

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the exterior angle add the 2 given sides 72 and 68 to find the last interior angle

72°+68°=140°

all sums of interior angles should equal 180° so

180°-140=40°

 take 40° and subtract is by 180°

180°-40°=140°

(A flat line is 180°)

so x=140°

Answer:

x = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a trinagle add up to 180 so to find out the missing angle, subtract 72 and 68 from 180.

180 - 72 - 68 = 40

Straight angles are equal to 180, so subtract 40 from 180.

180 - 40 = 140

x = 140°
