Given any two numbers, which is greater, the LCM of the numbers or the GCF of the numbers? Why?

1 answer:

6 0

The LCM of two given numbers will be greater. For example, a factor is the two numbers multiplied together to get that certain m=number that you chose, which is usually pretty less, than the LCM is the multiple of those certain numbers, and if you put those together the answer to the factors (multiples) are most larger than the factors itself.

Answer:

S = {0,2,3,4}

P(X=0) = 0.573 , P(X=2) = 0.401 , P(x=3) = 0.025, P(X=4) = 0.001

Mean = 0.879

Standard Deviation = 1.033

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people having same birth month be = x

The number of ways of distributing the birthdays of the 4 men = (12*12*12*12)

The number of ways of distributing their birthdays = 12⁴

The sample space, S = { 0,2,3,4} (since 1 person cannot share birthday with himself)

P(X = 0) = $\frac{12P4}{12^{4} }$

P(X=0) = 0.573

P(X=2) = P(2 months are common) P(1 month is common, 1 month is not common)

P(X=2) = $\frac{3C2 * 12P2}{12^{4} } + \frac{4C2 * 12P3}{12^{4} }$

P(X=2) = 0.401

P(X=3) = $\frac{4C3 * 12P2}{12^{4} }$

P(x=3) = 0.025

P(X=4) = $\frac{12}{12^{4} }$

P(X=4) = 0.001

Mean, $\mu = \sum xP(x)$

$\mu = (0*0.573) + (2*0.401) + (3*0.025) + (4*0.001)\\\mu = 0.879$

Standard deviation, $SD = \sqrt{\sum x^{2} P(x) - \mu^{2}} \\SD =\sqrt{ [ (0^{2} * 0.573) + (2^{2} * 0.401) + (3^{2} * 0.025) + (4^{2} * 0.001)] - 0.879^{2}}$
