Assume that there are an equal number of births in each month so that the probability is that a person chosen at random was born

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a birthday in May, or they do not. The probability of a person having a birthday in May is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a person being in May:

May has 31 days in a year of 365. So

$p = \frac{31}{365} = 0.0849$

Group of 20 friends:

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays?

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.0849)^{2}.(0.9151)^{18} = 0.2773$

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

You want to rent a car for the day.Prestige car rentals charges $47 plus $0.07 per mile to rent a midsize vehicle . Gateway Auto

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

240 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Charges offered by Prestige car rentals for renting a midsize vehicle:

Fixed charges = $47

Per mile charges for renting a midsize vehicle = $0.07

Charges offered by Gateway Auto for renting a midsize vehicle:

Fixed charges = $35

Per mile charges for renting a midsize vehicle = $0.12

To find:

Number of miles for which both the companies charge the same price?

Solution:

Let the number of miles for which both the companies will charge the same price = $x$ miles

Charges for one mile by Prestige car rentals = $0.07

Charges for $x$ miles by Prestige car rentals = $0.07 $x$

Total charges by Prestige Car rentals = $47 + $0.07 $x$

Charges for one mile by Gateway Auto = $0.12

Charges for $x$ miles by Gateway Auto = $0.12 $x$

Total charges by Gateway Auto = $35 + $0.12 $x$

As per question statement, the charges are same:

$\$47 + \$0.07x = \$35 + \$0.12x\\\Rightarrow 12=0.05x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1200}{5}\\\Rightarrow \bold{x=240\ miles}$

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola described by the equation below? y = -7(x - 4)2 - 5

pochemuha

To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)

Four notebooks 4.40. how many notebooks can you buy for 6.60.

denis23 [38]

We know we have $4.40 for 4. Divide 4.40 by 4, you get 1.10. So it's $1.10 per notebook. Therefore, divide 6.60 by 1.10. You get 6, so you can get six notebooks with $6.60.
Hope this helps!
