A boy mentions that none of the 21 kids in his third-grade class has had a birthday since school started 56 days previously. ass

ume that kids in the class are drawn from a population whose birthdays have the same probability on all days of the year. what is the probability that 21 kids in such a class would not yet have a birthday in 56 days?

21/356 because there are 21 kids and 365 days in a year

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

Explain why f(x) = x^2+4x+3/x^2-x-2 is not continuous at x = -1.
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression

f(x) = \frac{x^2+4x+3}{x^2-x-2}

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.

Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial x^2-x-2

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.

These numbers are -2 and 1

Then the factors are:

(x-2) (x + 1)

We do the same with the numerator

x^2+4x+3

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.

These numbers are 3 and 1

Then the factors are:

(x+3)(x + 1)

Therefore

f(x) = \frac{(x+3)(x+1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}

Note that \frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)}=1 only if x \neq -1

So since x = -1 is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in x = -1

A clothing store has a going-out-of business sale. They are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99. You can spend as much
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Let x represents the number of pants and y represents the number of shirts.

As per the statement:

Since, a clothing store are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99

then;

total number of Pants cost is, $8.99x and total number of Shirt cost is, $3.99

Also, it is given that: You can spend as much as $60 and want to buy at least two pairs of pants.

then, we have the equation of inequality;

8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60 ;......[1]         where x, y are natural number.

x-intercept:

Substitute the value y= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

8.99x + 3.99(0) \leq 60

8.99x \leq 60

Simplify:

x \leq 6.667

Since, x is in natural number;

x \leq 7

Similarly.

For y-intercept:

Substitute the value x= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

8.99(0) + 3.99y \leq 60

3.99y \leq 60

Simplify:

y \leq 15.037

y \leq 15

Therefore, we have

8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60 ;

2\leq x\leq 7 and  0\leq y\leq 15

If a gallon of milk costs $5.25 now and the price is
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: It will take approximately 21 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 percent of 5.25 is 0.315 (5.25 x 0.06 = 0.315)

Then you subtract 5.25 from 12 to calculate the number of years. (12 - 5.25 = 6.75)

Divide 0.315 from 6.75 (6.75 / 0.315 ≈ 21.4)
