21/356 because there are 21 kids and 365 days in a year
Vanyuwa [196]2 years ago

Answer:

0.8465²¹ = 0.0302

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that kids in the class are drawn from a population whose birthdays have the same probability on all days of the year, we have:

To not have a birthday in those 56 days, a kid should have his birthday in the remaining 309 days (365 - 56). Therefore, the probability of not having a birthday in those 56 days would be p = 309/365 = 0.8465.

Now we need that not only one, but 21 kids don't have a birthday in 56 days, this would be that the 1st kid doesn't have his birthday in those 56 days AND the second kid doesn't have it either AND the third either.... and so on for the 21 kids

This would give us that the probability is

p = 0.8465 x 0.8465 x 0.8465 x 0.8465 x...... x 0.8465  = 0.8465²¹ = 0.0302

What is the slope of the line?<br> 3(y - 1) = 2x + 2<br> Choose 1 answer:
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y - 1) = 2x + 2

3y - 3 = 2x + 2

3y = 2x + 5

3y/3 = 2x/3 + 5/3

y = 2/3x + 5/3

Does that help?

How do you solve this? <br>Y x 49/36=7/12
Triss [41]
Divide both sides by 49/36 to get y by itself:

\frac{7}{12} \div \frac{49}{36}

\frac{7}{12} \times \frac{36}{49} = \frac{254}{588}

Simplify this fraction:

\frac{254}{588} \div \frac{2}{2} = \frac{127}{294}

Now you have your answer:

y = \frac{127}{294}

Find the solution set for this equation. Separate the two values with a comma.

Y^2 -11y = 0

We can factor it:
y * (y -11) = 0

So y = 11, 0
