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

slega [8]

Answer: 0.548

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to remember the formula for PEMDAS(Parenthesis,exponents,multiplication,divison,addition,subtractio)

you can do either multiplication or divison whichever comes first, same with addition+subtraction.

the underlined means to simplify

On his first day of school, Kareem found the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to be 76.1°. He plans to use the function to
wolverine [178]
The function for conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9 

C(76.1) = (76.1 - 32) x 5/9
             = (44.1) x 5/9
             =  24.5

Therefore, 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit = 24.5 degrees Celsius.

5. Point A is 3 units directly below (2, 2). What are the coordinates of point A? Answer: Point A (___)​
fiasKO [112]
A is (2, -1)

The X axis will not change since A is not going left or right of (2,2). You would count down 3 spaces for the y-axis and that would land you at -1 or you could solve by subtraction.

a rectangular prism with a volume of 10 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lenghts of 1/2 unit how many 1/2 unit cubes d
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

V=s^3, we are told the volume is 10u^3 and that it will be filled with cubes having a side of 1/2 so

n(1/2)^3=10, where n will be the number of these small cubes

n(1/8)=10 upon multiplying each side by 8

n=80

So it will take 80 cubes of side length 1/2 to have a volume equal to 10u^3
