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

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!

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are

● 4x + 2y = 10 (1)

● 4x - 2y = -10 (2)

● 4x + 2y = 10

Add - 4x to both sides

● 4x + 2y -4x = 10 -4x

● 2y = 10 -4x

Divide both sides by 2

● 2y/2 = (10 - 4x)/2

● y = 5 - 2x

● y = -2x + 5 (1)

● 4x - 2y = -10

Add -4x to both sides

● 4x -2y -4x = -10 - 4x

● -2y = -10 - 4x

Divide both sides by -2

● -2y/-2 = (-10 -4x)/-2

● y = 10 + 2x

● y = 2x + 5 (2)

So the equation are

● y = 2x + 5

● y = -2x + 5

Graph them

The lines intersect at (0,5) but aren't perpendicular

So the answer is d
