Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, we have that:

  • There are 6 students, hence n = 6.
  • There are 20 quotes, hence the probability of each being chosen is p = 1/20 = 0.05.

The probability of one quote being chosen at least two times is given by:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1).

Then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{6} = 0.7351

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.05)^{1}.(0.95)^{5} = 0.2321

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.7351 + 0.2321 = 0.9672.

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9672 = 0.0328

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.

baherus [9]

Answer:

5A + 4P = 10

5A + 5P = 11

1 apple costs $1.2

1 pear costs $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Apples with A and Pears with P

For the person in my front, the expression is:

5A + 4P = 10

For me, the expression is

5A + 5P = 11

Hence, the system of equation is:

5A + 4P = 10

5A + 5P = 11

Solving for the values of A and P.

Substract equation (2) from (1)

5A - 5A + 4P - 5P = 10 - 11

-P = -1

P = 1

<em>Hence, 1 pear costs $1</em>

Substitute 1 for P in 5A + 4P = 10

5A + 4 * 1 = 10

5A + 4 = 10

5A = 10 - 4

5A = 6

A = \frac{6}{5}

A = \$1.2

<em>Hence, 1 apple costs $1.2</em>
