Total paint = 8 gallons

Used up amount = 1/4th gallon

The amount left, is the difference between the two.

That would be 1/4th subtracted from 8.

Or,

$8-\frac{1}{4}$

Taking common denominator, we solve:

$\begin{gathered} 8-\frac{1}{4} \\ =\frac{8(4)-1}{4} \\ =\frac{32-1}{4} \\ =\frac{31}{4} \\ =7\frac{3}{4}\text{ gallons} \end{gathered}$

Two students taking a multiple choice exam with 20 questions and four choices for each question have the same incorrect answer o

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The Possible model is binomial distribution model.

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument that both students cheated in the exam can be proved by a hypothesis that both the students got the same answers incorrectly.

The same incorrect answers prove that both students have cheated on the test.

Therefore the sample of incorrect answers is, n = 8

Thus, the success probability, P = 0.25

Since the given condition has only two outcomes that are choosing the same answer or not choosing the same answer. Thus, this can be solved by the binomial distribution model.

So, binomial distribution with n = 8 and p = 0 .25.

Which description best compares the graphs given by the equations:

nexus9112 [7]

x - 5y = -5, -5x - 25y = 25

First, you'll need to get the x variable by itself.

x - 5y = -5
 +5 +5
 x = 0
So x is plotted on the 0.

For the second part of the first equation, you'll be looking for what the y variable represents.

x - 5y = -5
-x -x
 -5y = -5
 5 5
 y = 1
So y is plotted on the 1 on the vertical line above the 0.

For the first part of the second equation, you'll do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
 +25 +25
 -5x = 50
 5 5
x = 10
So the x for this equation is plotted on 10 on the horizontal line.

For the second part of the second equation, you will do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
+5 +5
 -25y = 30
 25 25
y = 1.2
So the y for the second half of the second question is plotted on 1.2 on the vertical line.

<h2>Answer: B) Perpendicular</h2>

Perpendicular means the lines may or may not be of equal length and they will not be perfectly in line with each other.

Parallel means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will be perfectly in line with each other.

Intersecting means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will touch each other.
