Answer:

a. 0.45 b. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We will be using Poisson Approximation of Binomial because n = 80,000 is large and probability (<em>p) </em>is very small.

We calculate for (a) as follows:

The probability that both partners were born on April 30 is

<em>p </em>= 1/365 X 1/365

<em>p </em>= 1/133,225

<em>p </em>= 0.00000751

Using Poisson Approximation, we have:

λ = n<em>p</em>

λ = 80,000 X 0.00000751

λ = 0.6

We use λ to calculate thus:

P (X \geq 1) = 1 - P ( X = 0)

              = 1 - e^-λ

              = 1 - e^-0.6

              = 0.451

There is a 45.1% probability that, for at least one of these couples, both partners were born on April 30.

(b) To calculate the probability that both partners celebrated their birthday on the same day:

<em>p </em>(same birthday) = 365 X 1/365 X 1/365

                             = 1/365

λ = n<em>p</em>

λ = 80,000 X 1/365

λ = 219.17

P (X \geq 1) = 1 - P ( X = 0)

= 1 - e^-λ

= 1 - e^-219.17

≈ 1

There is almost 100% probability that, for at least one of these couples, both partners celebrate their birthday on the same day of the year.

Molar mass of FeCl3, Co(NO3)2, C4H10O, and Cu(NO3)2? Show work.
N76 [4]

Molar mass of FeCl₃ 162.204 g/mol

Molar mass of  C₄H₁₀O is 74.1212 g/mol

Molar mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ is 187.5594 g/mol

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Molar mass is also termed as molecular mass of the compound. So it is the measure of the amount of mass present in the given molecule. It can be obtained by adding the products of number of atoms with their molecular mass.

For example, in order to find the molar mass of FeCl₃, the molecular mass of Fe is noted as 55.845 g/mol and the molecular mass of Cl is noted as 35.453 g/mol.

As FeCl₃ contains one atom of Fe and 3 atoms of Cl, then the

Molar mass = (Number of Fe atoms × Molecular mass of Fe) + ( Number of Cl atoms × Molecular mass of Cl)

Molar mass of FeCl₃ = (1×55.845)+(3×35.453)=162.204 g/mol.

Similarly, the molar mass of C₄H₁₀O will be

Molar mass = (4×Mass of C) + (10×Mass of H) + (1 × Mass of O)

Molar mass = (4×12.0107)+(10×1.00784)+(1×16)=74.1212 g/mol

Then the molar mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ will be

Molar mass = (1× Mass of Cu) + (2×Mass of N)+(6×Mas of Oxygen)

Molar mass = (1×63.546)+(2×14.0067)+(6×16)

Molar mass = 187.5594 g/mol

How would you graph y=| x-2|-4
AVprozaik [17]
To graph ty function simply make a table of values, where you choose any value for x and substitute that value in the function.

Then take the absolute value of the expression in the square bracket.

It is always positive, the absolute value of -6 is 6 etc.

Then graph the resulting points.

Another way to do it is simply draw the graph of y = |x| then move it 2 spaces to the right and 4 spaces down, I believe.
