Considering the probabilities of getting each question right, his expected score for the test is 90.8.

<h3>How to find Joe's expected score?</h3>

Joe's expected score is given by the sum of the expected score for each question.

We have that:

  • He is sure of 12 answers, hence for each he expects 6 points.
  • He randomly guesses on 9 problems, hence he is expected to have a 1/5 probability of earning 6 on them.
  • For the other 4 problems, he has a 1/3 probability of earning 6 on them, as he will guess from 3 options as he eliminated 2.

Hence his expected score is given by:

E(X) = 12 x 6 + 9 x 1/5 x 6 + 4 x 1/3 x 6 = 90.8.

-5v+6=-12+62 <br> What is v?
sattari [20]

Answer:

-8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

combine terms on right side of equal sign(50)

know your equation is -5v+6=50

subtract 6 from both sides so you know have -5v=44

then divide both sides by negative five so know you have v=-8.8

(plug in -8.8 to check)

What are the angles of a triangle
Talja [164]
The angles inside a triangle are called interior angles. The diagram below shows the interior and exterior angles of a triangle. The three interior angles in a triangle will always add up to 180°. At each corner the exterior and interior angles are on a straight line, so at each corner these two angles add up to 180°.
