Answer: 0.98630136986

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 365 possible birthdays. The key to assigning the probability is to think in terms of complements: “Two (or more) people share a birthday” is the complement of “All people in the group have different birthdays.” Each probability is 1 minus the other. What is the probability that any two people have different birthdays? The first person could have any birthday (p = 365÷365 = 1), and the second person could then have any of the other 364 birthdays (p = 364÷365). Multiply those two and you have about 0.9973 as the probability that any two people have different birthdays, or 1−0.9973 = 0.0027 as the probability that they have the same birthday. If you have a group of five, it would mean your equation would have to be (p=360÷365)

yan [13]

we are given with two equations: R=143-0.65a for women and R = 165-0.75a for men. In this prblem we are asked the age of a man when R is equal to 135. In this case, we use the second equation and substitute R with 135. In this case, 135 = 165 - 0.75 a; a is equal then to 40 yrs old. In 2, when x is equal to 4, then 0.5*4 + 3 is equal to 5.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

D: 768

Step-by-step explanation:

First, he divides a piece of paper in half.

1 \div  \frac{1}{2}  = 2

He gets two pieces.

Next, he cuts each of the pieces into three parts.

2 \div  \frac{1}{3}  = 6

Thirdly, he cuts each of the 6 pieces into 8 pieces.

6 \div  \frac{1}{8}  = 48

Lastly, he divides each piece into 16 parts.

48 \div  \frac{1}{16}  = 768

He has 768 pieces in the end. (D)

Tell me how to shade the area on the grid that shows 7/8x3/4
viva [34]
If the grid is an 8x8: 

To solve this we need to convert 3/4 into a fraction x/8 so that they have the same denominator.

To do this we can set a porportion and find a common denominator. 4 x 2 = 8 so the common denominator would be 8 and the rule would be x 2 so 4 x 2 = 8 and 3 x 2 = 6

So we get 7/8 and 6/8

From top to bottom shade 7 spaces in a row

From left to right shade 6 spaces in a row

Fill in the spaces in between to make a square

I hope this helps!
