Answer:

Option B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides :

4x² + 4x - 8 = 0

Divide both sides by 4 :

x² + x - 2 = 0

Factorise using factorisation method :

x² - x + 2x -2 = 0

x(x - 1) +2(x-1) = 0

(x+2)(x-1) = 0

Solve for x

x +2 = 0 OR x - 1 = 0

x = -2 OR x = 1

Answer will be Option B and D

Hope this helped and have a good day

A test has 20 true/false questions. What is the probability that a student passes the test if they guess the answers? Passing me

Minchanka [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes, either the guess is correct, or it is not. The guess on a question is independent of any other question, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

There are 20 questions, hence $n = 20$ .

Each question has 2 options, one of which is correct, hence $p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

The probability is:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.0148$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.5)^{16}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.0046$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.5)^{17}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0011$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.5)^{18}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,19}.(0.5)^{19}.(0.5)^{1} = 0$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,20}.(0.5)^{20}.(0.5)^{0} = 0$

Then:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0148 + 0.0046 + 0.0011 + 0.0002 + 0 + 0 = 0.0207$

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.
