Suppose that we ask n randomly selected people whether they share your birthday. (a) Give an expression in terms of n for the probability that no one shares your birthday (ignore leap years). $$ Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) What is the least number of people we need to select so that the probability is at least 0.8 that at least one person shares your birthday

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

a) The expression is [tex]\left(\frac{364}{365}\right)^{n}[/tex]

b) You need to select at least 587 people.

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes, either they share your birthday, or they do not. The probability of a person sharing your birthday is independent of any other person, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

There are 365 days in a non-leap year, hence, the probability of each person sharing your birthday is [tex]p = \frac{1}{365}[/tex]

Item a:

This probability is P(X = 0), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{n,0}.\left(\frac{1}{365}\right)^{0}.\left(\frac{364}{365}\right)^{n} = \left(\frac{364}{365}\right)^{n}[/tex]

Hence, the expression is [tex]\left(\frac{364}{365}\right)^{n}[/tex]

Item b:

The probability that at least one person shares your birthday is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

We want that:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) \geq 0.8[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]1 - P(X = 0) \geq 0.8[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) \leq 0.2[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\left(\frac{364}{365}\right)^{n} \leq 0.2[/tex]

[tex]n\log{\left(\frac{364}{365}\right)} \leq \log{0.2}[/tex]

[tex]n \geq \frac{\log{0.2}}{\log{\left(\frac{364}{365}\right)}}[/tex]

[tex]n \geq 586.6[/tex]

Rounding up: You need to select at least 587 people.

In the Renaissance Italy of the early 16th Century, Bologna University in particular was famed for its intense public mathematics

Prior to the invention of the Mathematical Symbols, mathematical equations were written in words.

For example, Y + 10 = 4.5 would be written as

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

looks to be a parabola, so use vertex mode (h, k) =  (-1, 2)

y = a(x - h)² + k

y = a(x + 1)² + 2

another point on the curve seems to be (1, 6)

6 = a(1 + 1)² + 2

     1 = a

y = (x + 1)² + 2

or expand for standard form y = ax² + bx + c

y = (x² + 2x + 1) + 2

y = x² + 2x + 3

You are designing a new, larger coral reef habitat that will stun visitors with its size and vibrant colors. The tank requires special glass to protect this delicate environment. The glass costs $25,000 + a 10% engineering fee + a 5% shipping fee. The shipping fee is calculated on the cost of the glass plus engineering charges. What is the total cost of the glass, including fees?

Answers

Answer:

$28,875

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we would have to find 10% of $25,000

10% of $25,000 = $2,500

Now, we have to add the 2 values together

$25,000 + $2,500 = $27,500

Now, we can find the shipping fee, since it includes the engineering fee

5% of $27,500 = $1,375

Now, we can add the shipping fee to find the total

$27,500 + $1,375 = $28,875

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² - 3x + 2

y = x² - 3x + 2

solve for x as a function of y

y - 2 = x² - 3x

complete the square by adding the square of half the x¹ coefficient to each side of the equation.

y - 2 + (-1.5)² = x² - 3x + (-1.5)²

      y + 0.25 = (x - 1.5)²

    [tex]\sqrt{y + 0.25}[/tex] = x - 1.5

                 x = 1.5 ± [tex]\sqrt{y + 0.25}[/tex]

now swap the x and y variables and revert to function notation

f(x) = 1.5 ± [tex]\sqrt{x + 0.25}[/tex]     domain is x ≥ -0.25

each input will have two outputs except where f(-0.25) = 1.5

---------------------------

Explanation:

The right hand side for choice A is in the form [tex]a(r)^{n-1}[/tex] which is the nth term of a geometric sequence.

a = first term = 59,000 = starting salaryr = common ratio = 1.08 = tells us how the salary increases year to year

The 1.08 represents an increase of 8% because,

Answer: Choice C

[tex]\frac{(y-60)^2}{144} + \frac{x^2}{100} = 1[/tex]

---------------------------

Explanation:

The ellipse is 20 inches wide, which cuts in half to 10 inches. This is the corresponding value plugged into the denominator of the 'x' fraction, as x deals with the horizontal component. So we'll have a^2 = 10^2 = 100 in the denominator under the x term. Only choice C has this, so this is the answer we go for. For the vertical component, we cut 24 in half to get 12, then square it to get 144, which explains the denominator for the y term.

Problem 3

Answer: Choice C

30 feet; major axis

---------------------------

Explanation:

Pick the larger denominator 225. Apply the square root to get 15. Then double this value to land on 30. This is the length of the major axis which is the longer axis through the center of the ellipse. The major axis also passes through both foci.

Let's say points P and Q are any two random points on the ellipse. The longest segment PQ can get is 30 feet.

Answer:

1) 7/12, 2) 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Just plug in the values of c and d.

1) given: c = -1 1/4, d = -1

1/3 * (-1 1/4) - (-1)^3 = -5/12 + 12/12 = 7/12

(-1^3 is -1 (there's a positive in front as well so the negatives cancel out and it's just 1) and then convert everything to a common denominator (which is 12). 1/3 times -1 1/4 becomes -5/12 when you multiple straight across).

2) given: c = 4 1/4, d = 1 1/2

1/3 * (4 1/4 - (1 1/2)^3) = 1/3 * (17/4 - 27/8) = 1/3 * (34/8 - 27/8) = 1/3 * 7/8 = 7/24

(use pemdas/order of operations and solve the exponent first, then the parentheses. 1 1/2^3 is 27/8, and 4 1/4 is 34/8. when you subtract you get 7/8, then you can multiply straight across with 1/3 and you get 7/24.)

How much would you have to deposit today to have an accumulated amount 20,000 in 20 years if yearly interest is 4.75% compounded continuously?

Answers

The principal investment required to get a total amount of $20,000.00 from compound interest at a rate of 4.75% per year compounded 12 times per year over 20 years is $7,749.34

Given data

Principal =?

Final amount = $20,000

rate = 4.75%

Time = 20 years

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 4.75/100

r = 0.0475 per year,

Then, solve the equation for P

P = A / (1 + r/n)^(nt)

P = 20,000.00 / (1 + 0.0475/12)^(12)(20)

P = 20,000.00 / (1 + 0.003958333)^(240)
