Answer:
Possible, but very unlikely
Step-by-step explanation:
In a school of 150 students, the probability that at least two people have the same birthday is possible but very unlikely.
In a year, we have 365 total possible birthdays. If one student was born on 1st of January say, then the second student has 364 possible birth-dates assuming that they have different birthdays. This implies there is a higher probability that the second student has a different birthday.
Moreover, considering the school has only 150 students which is less than the total possible birth-days in a year, 365, the chances of two or more students sharing a birthday is possible but would be very unlikely.
Final answer:
The event that at least two people have the same birthday in a school of 150 students is possible and likely, according to the principles of probability theory and the 'birthday paradox'.
Explanation:
In considering whether it is possible and likely that at least two people have the same birthday in a school of 150 students, we can refer to the birthday paradox. This mathematical probability phenomenon shows that, with just 23 people, there is a roughly 50% chance of two individuals sharing a birthday.
The probability increases significantly with each additional person to the point that in a group of 150 students, it is highly likely that at least two people will share the same birthday. This scenario is an interesting application of probability theory where our intuition might not align with the mathematical reality due to the non-intuitive properties of combinatorics and probability.
We do not arrive at this conclusion by adding probabilities of non-mutually exclusive events incorrectly, which would exceed 100% certainty. Instead, we calculate the probability of all students having unique birthdays, and subtract this from 1 to find the complement probability that at least two students share a birthday. This approach correctly keeps the calculated probability between 0 and 1, as per probability theory's third law.
In the case of 150 students, the calculated likelihood is so close to 1 (almost certain) that we can confidently classify the event as possible and likely.
Alice has a photo of herself standing next to her dog. In the photo, she is 2.5 in. tall and her dog is 0.5 in. tall. Alice
is actually 66 in. tall.
How tall is her dog?
A. 13.2 in.
B. 22.0 in.
C. 26.4 in.
D. 33.0 in.
HELP ASAP PLZ!!
Answer:
a. 13,2 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
66 : 2.5 = 26.4
0.5 x 26.4 = 13.2
By creating a proportion based on the heights shown in the photo and Alice's actual height, we can calculate that Alice's dog's actual height is 13.2 inches, which is option A.
To find out how tall Alice's dog is in reality, we need to use the ratio of their heights in the photograph to determine the dog's actual height. In the photograph, Alice's height is 2.5 inches and her dog's height is 0.5 inches, while her actual height is 66 inches. This creates a ratio that we can use to calculate the dog's actual height.
First, we set up a proportion where the height of Alice in the photo is to her actual height as the height of the dog in the photo is to the dog's actual height:
2.5 inches / 66 inches = 0.5 inches / x inches
Now we solve for x, which represents the dog's actual height:
x = (0.5 inches * 66 inches) / 2.5 inches
After performing the multiplication and division, we get:
x = 13.2 inches
Therefore, the height of Alice's dog in reality is 13.2 inches, which corresponds to option A.

A bakery offers a sale price of $3.00 for 3 muffins. What is the price per dozen?
Answer:
$12 per dozen muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
3.00/3 = 1
1x = the price of one muffin
1(12) = 12
Step 1: Find what the price is per muffin. To do this you must divide $3.00 by 3 muffins (this will tell you dollar per muffin or $/muffin)
3 ÷ 3 = 1
This means that every muffin is $1
Since we know this, and we know that a dozen means 12 we can multiply 1 by 12 to find how much you would pay for a dozen muffins
12 × 1 = 12
It's $12 per dozen muffins

3.5 2
4 1
This data can be written as
1.5, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 3.5, 4
The mean of the data is
[tex]Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}=\frac{1.5+1.5+2+2.5+2.5+2.5+3+3.5+3.5+4}{10}=2.65[/tex]
The number of terms is 10 which is an even number. So, the median of the data is
[tex]Median=\frac{(\frac{n}{2})th+(\frac{n}{2}+1)th}{2}=\frac{5th+6th}{2}=\frac{2.5+2.5}{2}=2.5[/tex]
If next student presents a monologue that is about 0.5 minutes long, then the new data is
0.5, 1.5, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 3.5, 4
The mean of the new data is
[tex]Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}=\frac{0.5+1.5+1.5+2+2.5+2.5+2.5+3+3.5+3.5+4}{11}=2.4545..\approx 2.45[/tex]
The number of terms is 11 which is an odd number. So, the median of the new data is
[tex]Median=(\frac{n+1}{2})th=6th=2.5[/tex]
Median of given data and new data is same but the mean of new data is less than the mean of original data. It means the mean will decrease.
Therefore the correct option is B.

Find the 11th term 64,-32,16,-8
Answer:
0.025
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to figure out the common pattern you see. What I saw was that we are dividing something.
I looked at the 16 and -8 and thought of -2. To make sure, you can use a calculator.
So -8 is the 4th term you can go back dividing -8 with -2 until you've reached the 11th term.
I don't know if my answer is right. I wasn't being organized as I could be. It would be better if you do it again to make sure it's correct.

Which of the following are factors of the equation when written in factored form
Answer:
B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2a² + 8a - 15 = 3a - 3 ( subtract 3a - 3 from both sides )
2a² + 5a - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
To factorise the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the a² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the a term, that is
product = 2 × - 12 = - 24 and sum = + 5
The factors are + 8 and - 3
Use these factors to split the a- term
2a² + 8a - 3a - 12 = 0 ( factor the first/second and the third/fourth terms )
2a(a + 4) - 3(a + 4) = 0 ← factor out (a + 4) from each term
(a + 4)(2a - 3) = 0 ← in factored form
lf 4 pounds of birdseed cost
$6.95, about how much does 1 ounce
cost?
Answer:
$1.01
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cost of one ounce of birdseed, first convert the weight to ounces (4 pounds equals 64 ounces) and then divide the total cost by the total number of ounces. The result is approximately $0.11 per ounce.
First, we need to convert the weight from pounds to ounces since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, 4 pounds is equivalent to 4 × 16, which equals 64 ounces.
Now, if 4 pounds (or 64 ounces) of birdseed cost $6.95, we want to find the cost of one ounce. To do this, we divide the total cost by the total number of ounces:
$6.95 / 64{ ounces} = approximately $0.10859375 { per ounce}
This result is the cost per ounce. So, the approximation for the cost of 1 ounce of birdseed is roughly $0.11 (rounded to 2 decimal places).
To enter a local fair, one must pay an entrance fee and pay for the number of ride tickets he/she wants. Admission to the fair is given by the equation f(x) = .50x + 10, where x represents the number of tickets purchased and f(x) represents the total price. How much does each ride ticket cost?
From the equation given, each ticket costs 50 cents as expressed in 0.50x. Every time you increase x by one, the total cost increases by 50 cents

Given: E, F, Q, D∈k(O),
O ∈ ED , m∠DFQ = 10°,
m EF = 28°
Find: Angles of △EFQ
Answer:
The angles are m∠EQF=14°, m∠EFQ=90° and m∠QEF=76°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the figure in which m∠DFQ = 10°, m∠EOF = 28°
we have to find the angles of △EFQ
m∠EOF = 28°
By theorem angle subtended at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the circumference
⇒ m∠EQF=14°
As angle ∠EFQ is the angle in the semicircle
∴ ∠EFQ=90°
In ΔEFQ, by angle sum property of triangle
m∠EFQ+m∠FQE+m∠QEF=180°
90°+14°+m∠QEF=180°
m∠QEF=180°-90°-14°=76°
Hence, m∠EFQ=90° and m∠QEF=76°
To find the missing angle in triangle △EFQ, we used the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180°. Therefore, m∠EQF is found to be 142°, making the angles of the triangle 10°, 28°, and 142°.
Explanation:This problem deals with finding the measurements of angles in a triangle. In this case, the triangle is △EFQ, and we are given that m∠DFQ = 10° and m∠EF = 28°. The sum of the angles in a triangle always equals 180°. So, the third angle, m∠EQF, can be found by subtracting the given angles from 180°.
To calculate, follow these steps:
First, add the given angles: 10° + 28° = 38°.Next, subtract the sum of the given angles from 180°: 180° - 38° = 142°.Therefore, m∠EQF = 142°. So, the angles of triangle △EFQ are 10°, 28°, and 142°.

A fourth degree polynomial has real roots at 0,3 a double real root at -1 and passes through point 2,12 what is the equation for the function
Answer:
y=x^2-3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Final answer:
A fourth degree polynomial with real roots at 0, 3 and a double real root at -1 passes through the point (2, 12). The equation for the function is -2x(x - 3)(x - 3)(x + 1).
Explanation:
A fourth degree polynomial with real roots at 0, 3 and a double real root at -1 can be expressed as:
f(x) = a(x - 0)(x - 3)(x - 3)(x + 1)
To find the value of 'a', we can substitute the point (2, 12) into the equation:
12 = a(2 - 0)(2 - 3)(2 - 3)(2 + 1)
12 = -6a
a = -2
So, the equation for the function is:
f(x) = -2x(x - 3)(x - 3)(x + 1)
find the volume of a cylinder with diameter 8 inches and height 9 1/2 inches
Answer:
[tex]V=152\pi in^{2}[/tex] in terms or pi
[tex]V=477.52in^{2}[/tex] simplified
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we are using the Cylinder's volume formula:
[tex]V=\pi r^{2} h[/tex]
where
[tex]V[/tex] is the volume of the cylinder
[tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the cylinder
Remember that radius is half the diameter, so we can divide the diameter of our cylinder by 2 to find its radius: [tex]r=\frac{d}{2} =\frac{8in}{2} =4in[/tex]. Now, 9 1/2 inches is 9 and a half inches, so [tex]h=9.5in[/tex].
Replacing values:
[tex]V=\pi (4in)^{2} (9.5in)[/tex]
[tex]V=\pi (16in^{2})(9.5in)[/tex]
[tex]V=152\pi in^{2}[/tex]
[tex]V=477.52in^{2}[/tex]
We can conclude that the volume of our cylinder is [tex]V=152\pi in^{2}[/tex] in terms of pi, or [tex]V=477.52in^{2}[/tex] simplified.
Answer:
[tex]V=477.5in^3[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{8}{2} =4in.[/tex]
The height of the cylinder is
[tex]h=9\frac{1}{2}=\frac{19}{2}in.[/tex]

Two cars simultaneously left Points A and B and headed towards each other, and met after 2 hours and 45 minutes. The distance between points A and B is 264 miles. What is the speeds of the cars, if one of the cars travels 14 mph faster than the other?
Please help
This is the only problem of my homework that I don't understand
The answers are:
[tex]FirstCarSpeed=41mph\\SecondCarSpeed=55mph[/tex]
Why?To calculate the speed of the cars, we need to write two equations in order to create a relation between the two speeds and be able to calculate one in function of the other.
So, let be the first car speed "x" and the second car speed "y", writing the equations we have:
For the first car:
[tex]x_{FirstCar}=x_o+v*t[/tex]
For the second car:
We know that the speed of the second car is the speed of the first car plus 14 mph, so:
[tex]x_{SecondCar}=x_o+(v+14mph)*t[/tex]
Now, we already know that both cars met after 2 hours and 45 minutes, and the distance between A and B is 264 miles, so, we can calculate the relative speed between both cars.
If the cars are moving towards each other the relative speed will be:
[tex]RelativeSpeed=FirstCarSpeed-(-SecondCarspeed)\\\\RelativeSpeed=x-(-x-14mph)=2x+14mph[/tex]
So , since we know that they covered a combined distance equal to 264 miles in 2 hours + 45 minutes, we have:
[tex]2hours+45minutes=120minutes+45minutes=165minutes\\\\\frac{165minutes*1hour}{60minutes}=2.75hours[/tex]
Writing the equation:
[tex]264miles=(2x+14mph)*t\\\\264miles=(2x+14mph)*2.75hours\\\\2x+14mph=\frac{264miles}{2.75hours}\\\\2x=96mph-14mph\\\\x=\frac{82mph}{2}=41mph[/tex]
Therefore, the speed of the first car is equal to 41 mph.
Now, for the second car we have that:
[tex]SecondCarSpeed=FirstCarSpeed+14mph\\\\SecondCarSpeed=41mph+14mph=55mph[/tex]
We have that the speed of the second car is equal to 55 mph.
Hence, the answers are:
[tex]FirstCarSpeed=41mph\\SecondCarSpeed=55mph[/tex]
