According to Bill Nye, How many people need to be in a room for there to be 50% chance of atleast 2 people having the same birthday?a. 128 b. 56 c. 29 d. 12

the answer is actually 23 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill Nye's birthday paradox can be explained in the following manner:

first we must find the probability that in a room with 23 people, no two people have the same birthday

probability of no two people having the same birthday = 365/365 x 364/365 x 363/365 x 362/365 ... you keep multiplying until 343/365 = 0.492703

so the probability that in a room with 23 people, no two people have the same birthday = 49.2703%

the probability of two people having the same birthday = 1 - probability of no two people having the same birthday = 1 - 49.2703% = 50.7297%

69.64%

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
