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

IF YOU HELP ME ILL WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIST AND 50 PONITS HELP ME PLZZZZZ
labwork [276]
I think the answer is A because the data is skewed to the right 
The median (middle) isn't 10, it's 8 
The interquartile range (IQR) is 7 not 6 because you have to subtract the first and third quartile 13 - 6 = 7 not 6

Hope this helps! ;)

Devin is buying 2 concert tickets. The concert tickets have a regular price of $40 each. Devin has a coupon that gives a 5% disc
Svetach [21]

Given :

Devin is buying 2 concert tickets. The concert tickets have a regular price of $40 each.

Devin has a coupon that gives a 5% discount off of the regular price of the tickets. He will then pay a 10% purchasing fee on the discounted price of the tickets.

To Find :

Devin's total cost of the two tickets after the discount and the fee.

Solution :

Discount on price, D = 40×0.05 = $2 .

Price of product after discount, P = $( 40 - 2 ) = $38 .

Now, total price after adding purchasing fee is :

T = P + (P×0.10)

T = 38 + (38×0.10)

T = 38 + 3.8

T = $41.8

Therefore, Devin's total cost of the two tickets after the discount and the fee is $41.8 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
