the hats of n persons are thrown into a box. the persons then pick up their hats at random (i.e., so that every assignment of the hats to the persons is equally likely). what is the probability that (a) every person gets his or her hat back?

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that every person gets his or her hat back is 1/n!

What are equally likely function?

If each possibility in a sample space S has the same chance of happening, then all of the outcomes are equally likely. The following experiment shows how easy it is to compute the probability of a single result or an event if all outcomes in a sample space S are equally likely.

Think about the sample space for all hat assignments.

This has n! components (n hat picks for the first person, then n - 1 for the second, etc.),

with each occurrence having a chance of 1/n and being equally likely. Calculation is the issue.

The likelihood of a single element occurring, hence the response is 1/n!

the probability that a carton of eggs taken from the cooler at a store will have at least one cracked egg is 2.5%.2.5%. what are the odds that a carton of eggs will have at least one cracked egg?

Answers

The odds that a carton of eggs will have at least one cracked egg is 97.5 %

The question has to do with probability

What is probability?

Probability is the likelihood for an event to occur. It is given by P(event) = number of required outcomes/total number of possible outcomes.

How to find the odds that a carton of eggs will have at least one cracked egg?

Given that the probability that a carton of eggs taken from the cooler at a store will have at least one cracked egg is 2.5%. Let the probability of at least one cracked egg be P(egg ≤ 1) = 2.5% = 0.025

Now, since we require the probability of  that a carton of eggs will have at least one cracked egg, that is the number of cracked is greater than 1.

Let the probability of cracked eggs greater than 1 be P(egg ≥ 1).

From the law of probability

P(egg ≤ 1) + P(egg ≥ 1) = 1

So,  P(egg ≥ 1) = 1 -  P(egg ≤ 1)

P(egg ≥ 1) = 1 -  0.025

P(egg ≥ 1) = 0.975

P(egg ≥ 1) = 0.975 × 100 %

P(egg ≥ 1) = 97.5 %

So, the odds that a carton of eggs will have at least one cracked egg is 97.5 %

Find the total amount given the original price and tax rate. round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. original price: $123.28 tax rate: 7.5% enter the correct answer in the box.

Answers

The Total amount to pay including the tax will be $132.52

In the given question, For the Total amount, we know that we have to add the Tax rate to the Principal amount. It is mentioned that the Principal amount P = $123.28 and the Tax rate is 7.5%. Firstly we have to calculate what amount of interest is to be charged upon the Principal amount. To calculate Interest we have the formula :

=>  I = (P * R)/100 , where I = Interest, P = Principal Amt, R = Interest Rate

=>  I = (123.28 * 7.5)/100   => I = 9.24

We get Interest amount = $9.24

To calculate the Total amount, We have the formula: T = P + I

where, T = Total Amount, P = Principal Amount, and I = Interest Amount

=>  T = 123.28 + 9.24  => T = 132.52

Hence, the Total Amount is $132.52

How to find the area of the window?

given that

jaylon created this stained glass window the upper two coners are quater ciecleseach with a radius of 4 inches.

The window's area is equal to the sum of the areas of a rectangle, two quarter circles, and the smaller square between the two upper corners.

The quantity of space occupied by a flat surface with a specific shape is referred to as the area.

now, find the area of rectangle

A = length x breadth

A = 12 x (26-4)

A = 12 x 22

A = 264 square inches

find the area of the two quarter circle

[tex] A= 2( \frac{1}{4} (3.14) \times {4}^{2} ) \\ A = 25.12 {in}^{2} [/tex]

Find the area of the smaller square between the two upper corners

A = (12-8) (4)

A = 4 x 4

A = 16 sq.in

now, find the total area

A = 264 + 25.12 + 16

The sum of 2 consecutive numbers is 515.

Consecutive numbers:

Numbers that follow each other continuously in the order from smallest to largest are called consecutive numbers. For example: 1 and 2 are consecutive numbers, 34 and 35 are also consecutive numbers.

Here let the first number be x

Second number will be:

x + 1

We need to find their sum:

x + x + 1 = 515

2 x + 1 = 515

2 x = 515 - 1

2 x = 514

x = 514 / 2

Answers

The total cost of a Jalapeno is $ 9.24

Three friends ate at a restaurant and ate nachos for $19.95 and jalapeno poppers.

Three of them paid $9.73 each

So the total amount of money paid by three friends = 3×9.73

                                                                          = 29.19

Now we have to calculate the cost of jalapeno poppers

Therefore we have,

Total amount of money paid = cost of nachos + cost of jalapeno poppers

29.19 = 19.95 + cost of jalapeno poppers

The cost of jalapeno poppers =29.19 - 19.95

What is defined as the Rationalization?

Rationalization is the process of removing a radical as well as imaginary number from of the denominator of an arithmetic fraction. That is, in a fraction, remove the radicals so that the denominator just includes a rational number.

Step 1: Multiply the numerator and denominator by the a radical that removes the radical from the denominator.Step 2: Ensure that all radicals have been simplified.Step 3: If necessary, simplify the fraction.

Now the expression is given as;

= ∛(1/16) × (-54/1)

= -54/ ∛16

Taking cube root of 16.

= -54/(4√4)

= -27/2(√4)

By the process of rationalization, multiply the numerator and denominator by the a radical that removes the radical from the denominator which is √4.

= -27×√4/2(√4×√4)
