Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that each zodiac sign occupies 1/12 of a year.

Then the minimum number of persons for Y[all different signs] < 0.5,

The probability of at least two having the same sign is 1 minus the probability of all having different signs.

This can be represented as A [at least 2 person share the same sign] = 1 - Y[all different signs] must be > 0.5

Therefore we have 1 - 12/12 *11/12 * 10/12 *9/12 *8/12 = 0.38

This implies that the lowest number will be found to be 5

Hence, the correct answer is 5.

6x = 504

Given the equation 4x + 7 = 3(2x − 5), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.
MariettaO [177]
Part 1: 4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5) 

4x+7=6x-15 

7=6x-15-4x&#10;&#10; 

7=2x-15 

7+15=2x 

22=2x 

22=2x / 2 

x=11 

Part 2: Sam is not correct because <span>he messed up the second step. He added 2x on both sides to get 7x, instead he should have subtracted. </span>
