The probability that at least 2 people have the same birthday is 29.37%

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring. Probability is the number of ways of achieving success. Probability is also the total number of possible outcomes.

Suppose there are 30 people at a party. Do you think any two share the same birthday?

Let's use the random-number table to simulate the birthdays of the 30 people at the party, ignoring leap year.

Let's assume that the year has 365 days. number the days, with 1 representing January 1, 2 representing January 2, and so forth, with 365 representing December 31.

Draw a random sample of 30 days (with replacement). These days represent the birthdays of the people at the party. Would you expect any two of the birthdays to be the same?

1^{st} people = \frac{365}{365} \\ 2^{nd} people = \frac{364}{365} \\ 3^{rd} people = \frac{363}{365}

For 30 people

365! = 365*364*363*...336

So

= \frac{365*364*363*...336}{(365^{30})}  =  \frac{365!}{(365^{30})}

\frac{365!}{(365^{30})} = \frac{365!/(365-30)!}{365^{30}}

= \frac{365!/335!}{365^{30}} \\ = 0.2937 = 29.37%

The probability that at least 2 people have the same birthday is 29.37%

In this question, you are asked the probability for any of the 30 person to have the same birthday. To answer this it will be easier to calculate how much the probability for no one has same birthday. Let say the first person birthday is 1. Then the next person birthday should be other than 1, which mean 364 possible days out of 365 days. The next person should be 363 possible days out of 365 days
Then the calculation for 30 people would be:   

(365!/365-30!)/(365^(30)= (365!/335!)/ 365^30=  29.4%
Then the probability of at least two person have same birthday would be: 100%-29.4%= 70.6%

For the polynomial function ƒ(x) = −x6 + 3x4 + 4x2, find the zeros. Then determine the multiplicity at each zero and state wheth
murzikaleks [220]

There is a multiple zero at 0 (which means that it touches there), and there are single zeros at -2 and 2 (which means that they cross). There is also 2 imaginary zeros at i and -i.


You can find this by factoring. Start by pulling out the greatest common factor, which in this case is -x^2.


-x^6 + 3x^4 + 4x^2

-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)


Now we can factor the inside of the parenthesis. You do this by finding factors of the last number that add up to the middle number.


-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)

-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)


Now we can use the factors of two perfect squares rule to factor the middle parenthesis.


-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)

-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)


We would also want to split the term in the front.


-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)

(x)(-x)(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)


Now we would set each portion equal to 0 and solve.


First root

x = 0 ---> no work needed


Second root

-x = 0 ---> divide by -1

x = 0


Third root

x - 2 = 0

x = 2


Forth root

x + 2 = 0

x = -2


Fifth and Sixth roots

x^2 + 1 = 0

x^2 = -1

x = +/- \sqrt{-1}

x = +/- i

4. Tres albañiles trabajaron en una construcción. Francisco trabajó el doble de horas que Eduardo y Eduardo trabajó el cuádruple
MrRa [10]

Answer:

La cantidad de horas que trabajó Hugo son 8, mientras que Eduardo trabajó 32 horas y Francisco 64 horas.

Step-by-step explanation:

En primer lugar, para determinar la ecuación que debes resolver, es conveniente establecer la variable a la que debes encontrar una solución en la ecuación. Entonces, llamas x a la cantidad de horas que trabajó Hugo.

Luego, sabes que Eduardo trabajó el cuádruple de horas de las que trabajó Hugo, esto es, cuatro veces más de las horas trabajadas por Hugo. Esto se expresa matemáticamente como 4*x.

Finalmente, Francisco trabajó el doble de horas que Eduardo, que se calcula multiplicando a las horas trabajadas por Eduardo por 2: 2*4*x= 8*x

Entre los tres hermanos trabajaron 104 horas. Esto indica que la suma de las horas trabajadas por Francisco, Eduardo y Hugo debe ser 104 horas. Esto se expresa matemáticamente como:

x + 4*x+ 8*x= 104 (Planteamiento algebraico)

Resolviendo (Procedimiento):

13*x=104

x=\frac{104}{13}

x=8

Esto significa que <u><em>la cantidad de horas que trabajó Hugo son 8</em></u>.

Eduardo trabajó 4*x, esto es 4*8, que da como resultado 32 horas. Entonces <u><em>Eduardo trabajó 32 horas.</em></u>

Por último, Francisco trabajó 8*x. Siendo x=8, entonces 8*8=64. Entonces <u><em>Francisco trabajó 64 horas.</em></u>
