What is the probability that two people selected at random have the same birthday

1 answer:

8 0

Hello, there!

There are 365 days in a year.

We already know that one person has a birthday on blank day. We will call this person a. That means that there is a 100% chance that they have that birthday.

Because there are 365 days in a year, the odds of person b having a birthday on a certain day is 1/365

Odds of person A having that birthday: 365/365

Odds of person B having that birthday: 1/365

To find the odds of them having the same birthday, we must multiply these odds.

365/365 * 1/365 = 1/365

1/365 = 0.27%

This means that there is a 0.27% chance that both people share the same birthday.

I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!

There are 4 quarters in dollars. Keep that in mind.

Since Taylor is spending no more than 17 dollars, she probably only has 17 dollars. We already know that she has 8 dollars in bills, so we can subtract 8 dollars from 17 dollars because we need to find the amount of dollars in quarters.

The answer for that is 9 dollars. Since there are 4 quarters in the dollars, you need to multiply 9 by 4 to find the amount of quarters.
