Assume that there are an equal number of births in each month so that the probability is that a person chosen at random was born

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a birthday in May, or they do not. The probability of a person having a birthday in May is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a person being in May:

May has 31 days in a year of 365. So

$p = \frac{31}{365} = 0.0849$

Group of 20 friends:

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays?

This is P(X = 2).

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.0849)^{2}.(0.9151)^{18} = 0.2773$

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Esma and Hunter were trying to solve the equation:

Leni [432]

Answer:

both

Step-by-step explanation:

When would these strategies work?

Esma wants to solve by completing the square. If our equation looks like

a

x

2

+

b

x

+

c

=

k

ax

2

+bx+c=ka, x, squared, plus, b, x, plus, c, equals, k, this strategy would work. If

a

=

1

a=1a, equals, 1, we can square half of

b

bb to find what number completes the square. If

a

>

1

a>1a, is greater than, 1, we need to factor before we complete the square.

Hunter wants to solve using the zero product property. If we have a factored expression that equals zero, this strategy would work.

Whose strategy would work to solve

Hint #22 / 4

Esma's strategy

Esma is correct that adding

So Esma's strategy would work.

Hunter's strategy

Hunter is correct that he can factor

(x+2)(x+4)left parenthesis, x, plus, 2, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, x, plus, 4, right parenthesis.

He can then solve

(

=

(x+2)(x+4)=0left parenthesis, x, plus, 2, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, x, plus, 4, right parenthesis, equals, 0 using the zero product property since he has a factored expression equal to zero.

So Hunter's strategy would work.

Both of Esma's and Hunter's strategies would work.

Solve the following system of equations. Express your answer as an ordered pair in the format (a,b), with no spaces between the

Contact [7]

Solve it by substitution. First let's rewrite the first equation (3x+4y=16) so we have y = something, then we'll substitue that in to the other equation.
3x+4y=16
4y=-3x+16
y=-3/4x+4

Now we can substitute this into the other equation.
