A company with n employees publishes an internal calendar, where each day lists the employees having a birthday that day. What i

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: $1-(\frac{364}{365})^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^x$ , where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials, n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

We assume that the total number of days in a particular year are 365.

Then , the probability for each employee to have birthday on a certain day :

$p=\dfrac{1}{365}$

Given : The number of employee in the company = n

Then, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday is given by :-

$P(x\geq1)=1-P(x$

Hence, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday = $1-(\frac{364}{365})^n$

Find the slope of a line parallel to y=(2/5)x + (4/5)

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

So if a line was parallel it would have same slope. You can search up what slope-intercept form means. But if you have an equation like this:

y = mx+b

The slope will be m. Your question is written in the form. 2/5 = m.

The slope is 2/5

The y-intercept is 4/5

a square garden has a diagonal of 12 m. What is the perimeter of the garden? Express in simplest radical form

lianna [129]

Answer:

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of a square:

The diagonal of a square is found applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

The diagonal of the square is the hypothenuse, while we have two sides.

Diagonal of 12m:

This means that $d = 12$ , side s. So

$s^2 + s^2 = 12^2$

$2s^2 = 144$

$s^2 = \frac{144}{2}$

$s^2 = 72$

$s = \sqrt{72}$

Factoring 72:

Factoring 72 into prime factors, we have that:

72|2

36|2

18|2

9|3

3|3

$72 = 2^{3}*3^{2}$

So, in simplest radical form:

$s = \sqrt{72} = \sqrt{2^{3}*3^{2}} = \sqrt{2^3}*\sqrt{3^2} = 2\sqrt{2}*3 = 6\sqrt{2}$

Perimeter of the garden:

The perimeter of a square with side of s units is given by:

$P = 4s$

In this question, since $s = 6\sqrt{2}$

$P = 4s = 4*6\sqrt{2} = 24\sqrt{2}$

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$
