The Census Bureau says that the 10 most common names in the United States are (in order) Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, Brown,

Jones, Miller, Davis, Garcia, Rodriguez, Wilson. These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents.
Out of curiosity, you look at the authors of the textbooks for your current courses. There are 11 authors in all. Would you be surprised if none of the names of these authors were among the 10 most common?

Using binomial distribution where success is the appearing of any of the top 10 most common names, thus probability of success (p) is 9.6% = 0.096 and the probability of failure = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904. Number of trials is 11.
Binomial distribution probability is given by P(x) = nCx (p)^x (q)^(n - x)
Probability that none of the top 10 most common names appears is P(0) = 11C0 (0.096)^0 (0.904)^(11 - 0) = (0.904)^11 = 0.3295
Thus, the probability that at least one of the 10 most common names appear is 1 - 0.3295 = 0.6705

Therefore, I will be supprised that none of the names of the authors were among the 10 most common names given that the probability that at least one of the names appear is 67%.

James and Cameron are watching a film. They pause it with one fifth left to watch. What is the ratio of how much they have watch
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The ratio of how much they have watched to how much they have left to see is 4 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider that the total duration of the film is, 1.

It is provided that James and Cameron paused when there is one-fifth left to watch.

That is, they have already watched, 1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5} th of the film.

Compute the ratio of how much they have watched to how much they have left to see as follows:

\frac{\text{Duration Watched}}{\text{Duration Left}}=\frac{4/5}{1/5}=\frac{4}{1}=4:1

Thus, the ratio of how much they have watched to how much they have left to see is 4 : 1.
