Richard has just been given an l0-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct, Since Richard has not attended a class recently, he doesn't know any of the answers, Assuming that Richard guesses on all 10 questions. Find the indicated probabilities.
A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?
B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?
C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?
Then use the fact that P(r1) = 1 P(r = 0).
D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct

This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

10 questions.

This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?

This is [tex]P(X = 10)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024[/tex]

0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?

None correctly, so [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]

0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

Since [tex]P(X = 0) = 0.1074[/tex], from item b.

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926[/tex]

0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328[/tex]

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Answers

Answer:

y = -3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the given table can be written in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

m = slope = ∆y/∆x

Using the coordinates of any two pairs of values from the table, (0, -10) and (1, -13):

Slope (m) = [(-13 - (-10)]/[1 - 0] = -3/1

Slope (m) = -3

b = y-intercept = the value of y when x is 0 = -10

To write the equation, substitute m = -3 and b = -10 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

y = -3x + (-10)

y = -3x - 10

If 9% of a number equals 10, find 90% of that number.

Answers

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem 10 represents 9% of a number. So, to find 90% you must multiply 10 by 10. You do this because 9% times 10 equals 90%; therefore, 100 must be 90%.

This can also be proven through cross multiplication. To set up a proportion put the percent over the number like, [tex]\frac{9}{10}=\frac{90}{x}[/tex]. Then cross multiply to get the equation, [tex]9x=900[/tex]. Finally, divide both sides to get x=100.

Greatest common factor of 6, 108, and 486:

6 x 1 = 6

6 x 18 = 108

6 x 81 = 486

GCF: 6

so:

[tex]6(x^{2} +18x +81)[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +18x + 81[/tex]

factors to:

(x + 9) (x + 9)

because:

9 x 9 = 81

9 + 9 = 18

So:

It factors completely too:

6(x + 9) (x + 9)

or

B. {(x, y): y = x²}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a graph where every input (x-value) has one and only one output (y-value). In other words if the value for x=2, there will only be one corresponding point for y. For the function in B, that y-value would be 4. Both A and D, solve for y, means taking the square root which leaves a +/- x-value. C is absolute value of y, which means the positive and negative values for y would have the same point. Only choice B has x-values corresponding to a singular y-value. If you can remember what these graphs look like you can test if they are functions based on the vertical line test.
