[6+4=10 points] Problem 2. Suppose that there are k people in a party with the following PMF: • k = 5 with probability 1 4 • k =

10 with probability 1 4 • k = 15 with probability 1 2 1) What is the probability that at least two people were born in the same month? Assume that all months are equally likely. Make sure to provide all decimal places in the answer. 2) Given that there are at least two people that celebrate their birthdays in the same month, what is the probability that k = 10?. Make sure to provide all decimal places in the answer.

Answer:

1). 0.903547

2). 0.275617

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given :

K people in a party with the following :

i). k = 5 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

ii). k = 10 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

iii). k = 10 with the probability $\frac{1}{2}$

So the probability of at least two person out of the 'n' born people in same month is  = 1 - P (none of the n born in the same month)

= 1 - P (choosing the n different months out of 365 days) = 1-\frac{_{n}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^2}

1). Hence P(at least 2 born in the same month)=P(k=5 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=10 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=15 and at least 2 born in the same month)

= \frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{5}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^5})+\frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{10}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{10}})+\frac{1}{2}\times (1-\frac{_{15}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{15}})

= 0.25 \times 0.618056 + 0.25 \times 0.996132 + 0.5 \times 1

= 0.903547

2).P( k = 10|at least 2 share their birthday in same month)

=P(k=10 and at least 2 born in the same month)/P(at least 2 share their birthday in same month)

= $0.25 \times \frac{0.996132}{0.903547}$

= 0.0.275617

Linda read 1/5 of a book on Friday and 2/7 of the book on Saturday. On Sunday she read 5/9 of the remaining pages. What fraction
insens350 [35]
Here, you just want to solve it by finding a common denominator.
1/5+2/7, because she read 1/5 and 2/7 of the book on separate days. The common denominator is 35.
7/35+10/35
=17/35
So that's how much of the book she read before Saturday.
Now it says that on Sunday she read 5/9 of the remaining pages, meaning:
1-17/35 should give us our answer
35/35-17/35=18/35
But since it says she read 5/9 of the remaining pages, we need to multiply 18/35 by 5/9 to get what 5/9ths of 18/35 is.
(18/35)(5/9)=2/7
Therefore she read 2/7ths of the book on Sunday.

I don't know how to solve it.
Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the first derivative

\frac{d}{dx} ( {x}^{3}  - 3x)

3 {x}^{2}  - 3

Set the derivative equal to 0.

3 {x}^{2}  - 3 = 0

3 {x}^{2}  = 3

{x}^{2}  = 1

x = 1

or

x =  - 1

For any number less than -1, the derivative function will have a Positve number thus a Positve slope for f(x).

For any number, between -1 and 1, the derivative slope will have a negative , thus a negative slope.

Since we are going to Positve to negative slope, we have a local max at x=-1

Plug in -1 for x into the original function

( - 1) {}^{3}  - 3(  - 1) = 2

So the local max is 2 and occurs at x=-1,

For any number greater than 1, we have a Positve number for the derivative function we have a Positve slope.

Since we are going to decreasing to increasing, we have minimum at x=1,

Plug in 1 for x into original function

{1}^{3}   - 3(1)

1 - 3 =  - 2

So the local min occurs at -2, at x=1
