3. 1st term: 15 0C starting temperature
2nd term: 16.5 0C after 10 seconds, increased by 10%
3rd term: 18.15 0C after 20 seconds, increased by 10%
. . . of 16.5 0C
If the temperature is increased by 10%, the new temperature
will be 110% of the original temperature. The common ratio
will be 1.10.

The formula for this is : tn = t1*r(n1)
t1 = 15 t13 = 15*1.10(131)
r = 1.10 = 15*1.1012
= 47.08
The termperature when she finishes brushing
her teeth is about 47.08 0C.

11. 19488 ways
How many ways can she choose 12 people
from her 20 closest friends.
(c) Amy doesn't go and Bill and Kat go.
If Amy doesn't want to go, that means can only
choose from 19 people.
Bill and Kat want to go, that means you can only
choose 10 out of 17. ( Amy and Bill and Kat are
already taken 20 3 = 17 )
17!
17C10 = = 19448
7! 10!
There are 19448 ways to choose other 10 people
if Amy doesn't want to go and Bill and Kat insist
on going.

(a) What is the probability that another person
in the restaurant has the same birthday as her.
(not counting leap years)
The probability that another person has the same
birthday of 1/365 as Zoe, because there is only one
birthday in a year.
This probability is the same for every person in the
restaurant since you are looking for one specific
birth date.
There are 35 people in the restaurant, so ...
1 1 1 . . . 1 35 7
365 365 365 365 365 73
7
The probability is
73 .

15. So the general formula for the probability that n people will
not share the same birthday is :
(364/365)*(363/365)* . . . * ((366 n)/365)
= (364*363* . . . * (366 n)) / (365^n)
Since there is 35 people in the restaurant, the probability is :
(364*363* . . . *(366 35)) / (365^35)
= 0.1856
Therefore the probability 2 people will have the same birthday
is:
P(two people share birthday) = 1 P(no two people share birthday).
1 0.1856 = 81.4%

16. # of favorable (365P35) total # of ways for 35 people
outcomes to have different birthdays
P = ( ie. no paired birthdays)
the total # of
possible outcomes
365^35 total # of ways for 35
2nd way:
people to have birthday
(365P35)
36535 (365P35) the probability for 35 people to
365! 365^35 not have the same birthday
=
(365 35)! 365^35
= 0.1856
P(two people share birthday) = 1 P(no two people share birthday).
1 0.1856 = 81.4%
