Response:

1) The likelihood that ten students in a classroom have distinct birthdays is 0.883.

2) The likelihood that at least two out of ten students share a birthday is 0.002.

Detailed explanation:

Given: Assuming 365 days are in a year.

To find: 1) What is the probability that ten students in a classroom have unique birthdays?

2) What is the probability that at least two among ten students have a birthday in common?

Solution:

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}

Total outcomes = 365

1) The chance that ten students in a class hold different birthdays is

The first student can have their birthday on any of the 365 days, the second can only on 364/365 and so forth...

\frac{364}{365}\times \frac{363}{365} \times \frac{362}{365} \times \frac{361}{365}\times\frac{360}{365} \times \frac{359}{365} \times \frac{358}{365} \times \frac{357}{365} \times\frac{356}{365}=0.883

The chance that ten students in a class have distinct birthdays is 0.883.

2) The likelihood that at least two out of ten students share a birthday

P(2 on the same day) = 1 - P(2 not on the same day)

\text{P(2 born on same day) }=1-[\frac{365}{365}\times \frac{364}{365}]

\text{P(2 born on same day) }=1-[\frac{364}{365}]

\text{P(2 born on same day) }=0.002

The probability that at least two students in a class have the same birthday is 0.002.

Let’s clarify this: the basketball moves faster, indicating the tennis ball won’t be able to catch up. Therefore, we utilize the formula:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 202. The length is 26 more than 4 times the width. Find the dimensions
Inessa [8997]

Answer:

P = 2*(26+4y) + 4y

Upon solving for y, we find:

202= 52 +8y +4y

202= 52 +12 y

By substitution, we have:

150 = 12y

Thus, we arrive at:

y = \frac{150}{12}= 12.5

And for x, we determine:

x = 26 +4*12.5 = 76

This gives us a length of 76 and a width of 12.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dealing with a rectangle. The formula for the perimeter is:

P= 2x+2y

Here, x denotes the length and y the width. The following conditions can be established:

x = 26 +4y

Substituting these values yields:

P = 2*(26+4y) + 4y

When we solve for y, we find:

202= 52 +8y +4y

202= 52 +12 y

By substitution, we obtain:

150 = 12y

Thus, we conclude:

y = \frac{150}{12}= 12.5

The length is found to be 76, while the width measures 12.5.

sari has 3 times as many pencil erasers Sam. Together, they have 28 erasers.  How many erasers does Sari have
PIT_PIT [9117]
Start by letting x represent the number of Sam's pencils. Then Sari has 3x (since she has three times as many)

Together they total 28 pencils:
x + 3x = 28
4x = 28  /:4 (divide both sides by 4)
x = 7
So Sam has 7 pencils.
Sari, having three times as many, has 7 * 3 = 21.[[TAG_8]]
