Answer:

a) Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we know that:

X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.411)

This random variable represent that two people have the same birthday in just one classroom

b) We can find first the probability that one or more pairs of people share a birthday in ONE class. And we can do this:

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

And we can find the individual probability:

P(X=0) = (20C0) (0.411)^0 (1-0.411)^{20-0}=0.0000253

And then:

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

And since we want the probability in the 3 classes we can assume independence and we got:

P= 0.99997^3 = 0.9992

So then the probability that one or more pairs of people share a birthday in your three classes is approximately 0.9992

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Solution to the problem

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we know that:

X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.411)

This random variable represent that two people have the same birthday in just one classroom

Part b

We can find first the probability that one or more pairs of people share a birthday in ONE class. And we can do this:

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

And we can find the individual probability:

P(X=0) = (20C0) (0.411)^0 (1-0.411)^{20-0}=0.0000253

And then:

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

And since we want the probability in the 3 classes we can assume independence and we got:

P= 0.99997^3 = 0.9992

So then the probability that one or more pairs of people share a birthday in your three classes is approximately 0.9992

-The terminal side of the angle contains the following point. Find the values of the six trigonometric functions for the followi
bearhunter [10]

Answer: see attachments

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side (x² + y² = h²)

Use the following formulas to find the trig functions:

sin\theta=\dfrac{y}{h}\qquad \qquad csc\theta=\dfrac{h}{y}\\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{x}{h}\qquad \qquad sec\theta=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}\qquad \qquad cot\theta=\dfrac{x}{y}

BRIANILEST!!Rushawn lined up the interior angles of the triangle along line p below.
astra-53 [7]
Your answer would be the last option: What will happen to the individual sections cannot be determined, but the size of the two sections together increases.

This is because angles on a straight line add to 180°, so if angle C decreases, angles A and B must collectively increase to make up for the loss. For example, if C = 20° and it decreases to 15°, A + B + C would equal 175° and so A and B would need to increase to make it 180°.

The reason we can't determine what happens to the individual sections is that they could either both increase, or one could increase and one could decrease, as long as they collectively make up for the decreased angle.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

The internal dimension of a cylindrical container has a base area of 20 cm^2 and a height of 10 cm. What is the internal volume
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

<u><em>C) 200 cm^3 </em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

we observe that

Area=20 cm² and   Height=10 cm

The  formula to find volume is :

Volume= Area×Height

putting the values of area and height in above formula,we get

Volume= 20 cm²×10 cm

Volume= 200 cm³

The internal volume of the container is 200 cm³.

hope this helps

Liam has 9/10 gallon of paint for painting the bird houses he sells at the craft fair each birdhouse requires 1/20 gallon of pai
Rina8888 [55]
So to get the fractions easier to understand you need to put them on the same level you are on. So change the 9/10 gallons to 18/20 ( this makes them easier to deal with the 1/20)
so put 1/20 into 18/20. Liam can paint 18 bird houses.
