Assume that there are 365 days in a year, the probability that a person is born on any given day is the same for all days, and e

veryone’s birthdays are independent.
(a) If there are n people, what is the probability that no one is born in July?

(b) If there are 15 people who are all born in July or August, what is the probability that at least two of these people share the same birthday?

For part a, wouldn't it just be 365^n - 365^31 since there are only 31 days in July? Is there a way to make it more order specific? For b I am still confused on how to make order matter if we are just taking days from July or August. Explanations well appreciated!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If each day equal chance then p = Prob that a person is borne on a particular day = 1/365

Each person is independent of the other and there are two outcomes either borne in July or not

p = prob for one person not borne in July = (365-31)/365 = 334/365

a)Hence prob that no one from n people borne in July = (\frac{334}{365} )^n

b) p = prob of any one borne in July or Aug = \frac{(31+31) }{365} =\frac{62}{365}=0.1698

X- no of people borne in July or Aug

n =15

P(X>=2) =15C2 (0.1698)^2*(1-0.1698)^{13} +15C3 (0.1698)^3*(1-0.1698)^{12} +...+15C15 (0.1698)^{15}

=0.7505

Which sequence is modeled by the graph below?
Maru [420]

We have

a2 = 4

a3 = 2

a4 = 1

 calculate the difference

a3 - a2 = -2

a4 - a3 = -1

 The differences are not equal---------- >the sequence is not arithmetic.

 Getting the ratio:

a3/a2 = 0.5

a4/a3 = 0.5

 The common ratio is 0.5. Using the general form for a geometric series:

an = a1 r^(n-1)

for n = 2---------------- > a2=4

4 = a1 (0.5)^(2-1)

a1 = 8

therefore

an = 8 (1/2)^(n-1)

the answer is an = 8 (1/2)^(n-1)

the answer is none of those indicated in the question

Which description is correct for the polynomial 2x² + 2?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The polynomial is a quadratic binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2x^{2}+2

Classify the polynomial

<u>By the number of terms</u>

we know that

A polynomial with two terms is a binomial

<u>By the Degree of a Polynomial</u>

we know that

The degree of a polynomial is calculated by finding the largest exponent in the polynomial

In the given problem the largest exponent is 2

so

Is a quadratic equation

therefore

The polynomial is a quadratic binomial
