(a) Consider a class with 30 students. Compute the probability that at least two of them have their birthdays on the same day. (
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a.) 0.7063

b.) 23

Step-by-step explanation:

a.)

Let X be an event in which at least 2 students have same birthday

     Y be an event in which no student have same birthday.

Now,

P(X) + P(Y) = 1

⇒P(X) = 1 - P(Y)

as we know that,

Probability of no one has birthday on same day = P(Y)

⇒P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{n} (365-n)! }      where there are n people in a group

As given,

n = 30

⇒P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{30} (365-30)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{30} (335)! } = 0.2937

∴ we get

P(X) = 1 - 0.2937 = 0.7063

So,

The probability that at least two of them have their birthdays on the same day  =  0.7063

b.)

Given, P(X) > 0.5

As

P(X) + P(Y) = 1

⇒P(Y) ≤ 0.5

As

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{n} (365-n)! }

We use hit and trial method

If n = 1 , then

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{1} (365-1)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{1} (364)! }  = 1 \nleq 0.5

If n = 5 , then

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{5} (365-5)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{5} (360)! }  = 0.97 \nleq 0.5

If n = 10 , then

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{10} (365-10)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{10} (354)! }  = 0.88 \nleq 0.5

If n = 15 , then

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{15} (365-15)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{15} (350)! }  = 0.75 \nleq 0.5

If n = 20 , then

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{20} (365-20)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{20} (345)! }  = 0.588 \nleq 0.5

If n = 22 , then

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{22} (365-22)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{22} (343)! }  = 0.52 \nleq 0.5

If n = 23 , then

P(Y) = \frac{365!}{(365)^{23} (365-23)! } = \frac{365!}{(365)^{23} (342)! }  = 0.49 \nleq 0.5

∴ we get

Number of students should be in class in order to have this probability above 0.5 = 23

One quantity of interest is maximum height. What other quantity might be of interest?
3241004551 [841]

The other quantity which might be of interest is initial velocity

<h3>What is maximum height?</h3>

The maximum height of the object can be defined as the highest vertical position along its trajectory line.

The range of the projectile is also known as the horizontal displacement of the projectile. It is largely dependent on the initial velocity of the object.

If;

  • v is the initial velocity
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = maximum height in meters
  • θ = angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane (radians or degrees).

Maximum height of projectile is given by the formula:

H = \frac{vo^2sin^2\alpha }{2g}

From this, we can deduce that another quantity of interest is initial velocity

Thus, the other quantity which might be of interest is initial velocity

What integer is equivalent to 9 3/2
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The answer to your question would be 10.5

Because 3/2 = 1/2 and 1/2 = 0.5 so nine plus 3/2 would equal 10.5 make sense?
