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.

What is (10y+6) (8y-6) ?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

y = 3/4 or y = -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y:

(8 y - 6) (10 y + 6) = 0

Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

8 y - 6 = 0 or 10 y + 6 = 0

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Factor the left hand side.

Factor constant terms from the left hand side:

2 (4 y - 3) = 0 or 10 y + 6 = 0

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides by 2:

4 y - 3 = 0 or 10 y + 6 = 0

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 3 to both sides:

4 y = 3 or 10 y + 6 = 0

Hint: | Solve for y.

Divide both sides by 4:

y = 3/4 or 10 y + 6 = 0

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Factor the left hand side.

Factor constant terms from the left hand side:

y = 3/4 or 2 (5 y + 3) = 0

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 3/4 or 5 y + 3 = 0

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Subtract 3 from both sides:

y = 3/4 or 5 y = -3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Divide both sides by 5:

Answer: y = 3/4 or y = -3/5

What is the geometric mean of 30 and 6
Alik [6]
Since we have 2 numbers, we'll be square rooting.

All we have to do to find the mean is multiply & square root the products.

30 × 6 = 180

\sqrt{180} = 13.42

You can use the same process and check my answer if you'd like; I rounded the square root, so you may get a different answer.

Plllzzz im new and i neeed help
ella [17]

Answer:

4082

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The composite object

Required

The volume

The object is a mix of a cone and a hemisphere

Such that:

<u>Cone</u>

r = 10cm ---- radius (r = 20/2)

h = 19cm

<u>Hemisphere</u>

r=10cm

The volume of the cone is:

V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi * 10^2 * 19

V_1 = \frac{1900}{3}\pi

The volume of the hemisphere is:

V_2 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

V_2 = \frac{2}{3}\pi 10^3

V_2 = \frac{2000}{3}\pi

So, the volume of the object is:

V = V_1 + V_2

V = \frac{1900}{3}\pi + \frac{2000}{3}\pi

V = \frac{3900}{3}\pi

V = 1300\pi

V = 1300 * 3.14

V = 4082
