In a football or soccer game, you have 22 players, from both teams, in the field. what is the probability of having at least any

two players with the same birthdays? (just assume 365 days a year and don't have to do the exact calendar month and day, use the day number from 1 to 365)

We can solve this problem using complementary events. Two events are said to be complementary if one negates the other, i.e. E and F are complementary if

E \cap F = \emptyset,\quad E \cup F = \Omega

where \Omega is the whole sample space.

This implies that

P(E) + P(F) = P(\Omega)=1 \implies P(E) = 1-P(F)

So, let's compute the probability that all 22 footballer were born on different days.

The first footballer can be born on any day, since we have no restrictions so far. Since we're using numbers from 1 to 365 to represent days, let's say that the first footballer was born on the day d_1.

The second footballer can be born on any other day, so he has 364 possible birthdays:

d_2 \in \{1,2,3,\ldots 365\} \setminus \{d_1\}

the probability for the first two footballers to be born on two different days is thus

1 \cdot \dfrac{364}{365} = \dfrac{364}{365}

Similarly, the third footballer can be born on any day, except d_1 and d_2:

d_3 \in \{1,2,3,\ldots 365\} \setminus \{d_1,d_2\}

so, the probability for the first three footballers to be born on three different days is

1 \cdot \dfrac{364}{365} \cdot \dfrac{363}{365}

And so on. With each new footballer we include, we have less and less options out of the 365 days, since more and more days will be already occupied by another footballer, and we can't have two players born on the same day.

The probability of all 22 footballers being born on 22 different days is thus

\dfrac{364\cdot 363 \cdot \ldots \cdot (365-21)}{365^{21}}

So, the probability that at least two footballers are born on the same day is

1-\dfrac{364\cdot 363 \cdot \ldots \cdot (365-21)}{365^{21}}

since the two events are complementary.

5 x 3²⁴  bacteria will there be after one day.

What is exponents?

Exponentiation could be a calculation, written as bⁿ, involving 2 numbers, the bottom b and also the exponent or power n, and pronounced as "b to the n".

Consider what is actually happening in the question.

You begin with 5 bacteria, and after 1 hour it has tripled so you now have

5x 3=15.

Next hour, it triples again so you now have 5 x 3 x 3=45

You can see the pattern shows that the number of bacteria is multiplying every hour by a factor of 3. An exponent denotes how many times we are multiplying a number by itself, for example: 3⁴  means we are multiplying the number 3 a total of 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3).

Therefore the question is requiring us to triple the number of bacteria every hour for 24 hours, which means we are multiplying by 3 a total of 24 times. This gives us:

n x 324 where n is the number of bacteria you begin with.

Since you begin with 1 bacteria, the solution is 5 x 3²⁴.

Hence 5 x 3²⁴  bacteria will there be after one day.

Need help anyone who can help plz

Answer:

A) x=40°

B) They have the same lengths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an isosceles triangle, both sides are the same. So if you add up all the angles of any triangle, it should always add up to 180°. There is a 50° angle and a right angle (90°) so you subtract 50 and 90 from 180 (180-50-90) and you get 40. X has to be 40° :)

Answer:

452.39

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the surface area of a sphere all you need is the radius (half the diameter) and assuming the sphere touches both top and bottom that makes the radius 6 so your equation is

SA=4πr^2

SA=4*π*6^2

SA=4*π*36

SA=4*113.09

SA=452.389

then rounded up to 452.39, that is your answer
