<span>Randomly generate an integer from 1 to 7 two times, and the probability is 1/7 ^2
This is the </span><span>statement that best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have their birthdays on a Monday.
There are 7 days in a week, so there are 7 choices but only 1 Monday. So, 1/7 is the probability that a person's birthday falls on a Monday.
1st person asked will have 1/7 probability.
2nd person asked will also have 1/7 probability
So, (1/7)</span>² is the probability that both persons will have their birthdays on a Monday.
Steps to simplify:
(2x + 3)(x - 7)
~Use FOIL to multiply
(2x * x) + (2 * -7) + (3 * x) + (3 * -7)
~Simplify
=2x² - 14x + 3x - 21
~Combine Like Terms
2x² + (-14x + 3x) - 21
~Simplify
2x² - 11x - 21 (Option 2)
Best of Luck!
