Given:

The same birthday probability is

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{1}{365} \\ \\ =0.27\% \end{gathered}$

Find:-

Person who has the same birthday

Explanation-:

The probability of meeting a random person who has the same birthday is:

$=\frac{1}{365}$

Probability of meeting a random person who does not has same birthday as you

$\begin{gathered} =1-\frac{1}{365} \\ \\ =\frac{365-1}{365} \\ \\ =\frac{364}{365} \end{gathered}$

The required probability that the 25th person you meet is the first person who has the same birthday as

$\begin{gathered} =\text{ Probability that the first 24 persons we meet did not have same birthday \rparen}\times(\text{ probability that the first 25 person we meet has same birthday\rparen} \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefor,

$\begin{gathered} P=(\frac{364}{365})^{24}\times\frac{1}{365} \\ \\ =(0.9972)^{24}\times0.27 \\ \\ =0.9362\times0.27 \\ \\ =0.25\% \end{gathered}$

It takes Evan 6 3/4 hours to mow 3 lawns. it takes him 2 1/3 hours to mow Mr. Smiths yard and 1 3/4 hours to mow Ms. Lee's yard.

Ratling [72]

Answer: $2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total time taken by Evan to mow the 3 lawns = $6\frac{3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}\ \text{hours}$

Time taken by Evan to mow the first lawn = $2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\ \text{hours}$

Time taken by Evan to mow the second lawn = $1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ \text{hours}$

Now,Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{27}{4}-\frac{7}{3}-\frac{7}{4}$

⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{81-28-21}{12}$

⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

Hence, the time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

The College Board SAT college entrance exam consists of three parts: math, writing and critical reading (The World Almanac 2012)

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Yes, there is a difference between the population mean for the math scores and the population mean for the writing scores.

Test Statistics = $\frac{Dbar - \mu_D}{\frac{s_D}{\sqrt{n} } }$ follows $t_n_- _1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided with the sample data showing the math and writing scores for a sample of twelve students who took the SAT ;

Let A = Math Scores ,B = Writing Scores and D = difference between both

So, $\mu_A$ = Population mean for the math scores

$\mu_B$ = Population mean for the writing scores

Let $\mu_D$ = Difference between the population mean for the math scores and the population mean for the writing scores.

<em> Null Hypothesis, </em> $H_0$ <em> : </em> $\mu_A = \mu_B$ <em> or </em> $\mu_D$ <em> = 0 </em>

<em> Alternate Hypothesis, </em> $H_1$ <em> : </em> $\mu_A \neq \mu_B$ <em> or </em> $\mu_D \neq$ <em> 0</em>

Hence, Test Statistics used here will be;

$\frac{Dbar - \mu_D}{\frac{s_D}{\sqrt{n} } }$ follows $t_n_- _1$ where, Dbar = Bbar - Abar

$s_D$ = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum D_i^{2}-n*(Dbar)^{2}}{n-1}}$

n = 12

Student Math scores (A) Writing scores (B) D = B - A

1 540 474 -66

2 432 380 -52

3 528 463 -65

4 574 612 38

5 448 420 -28

6 502 526 24

7 480 430 -50

8 499 459 -40

9 610 615 5

10 572 541 -31

11 390 335 -55

12 593 613 20

Now Dbar = Bbar - Abar = 489 - 514 = -25

Bbar = $\frac{\sum B_i}{n}$ = $\frac{474+380+463+612+420+526+430+459+615+541+335+613}{12}$ = 489

Abar = $\frac{\sum A_i}{n}$ = $\frac{540+432+528+574+448+502+480+499+610+572+390+593}{12}$ = 514

∑ $D_i^{2}$ = 22600 and $s_D$ = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum D_i^{2}-n*(Dbar)^{2}}{n-1}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{22600 - 12*(-25)^{2} }{12-1} }$ = 37.05

So, Test statistics = $\frac{Dbar - \mu_D}{\frac{s_D}{\sqrt{n} } }$ follows $t_n_- _1$

= $\frac{-25 - 0}{\frac{37.05}{\sqrt{12} } }$ follows $t_1_1$ = -2.34

<em>Now at 5% level of significance our t table is giving critical values of -2.201 and 2.201 for two tail test. Since our test statistics doesn't fall between these two values as it is less than -2.201 so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis as our test statistics fall in the rejection region .</em>

Therefore, we conclude that there is a difference between the population mean for the math scores and the population mean for the writing scores.

Simplify each expression by combining like terms <br> 3x^-1 - 10x^-1

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

-7/x

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you combine the terms together to get -7x^-1. you cant have negative exponents in the numerator so you move the x^-1 to the denominator. once it move its becomes positive then.
