Answer:

1.66479*10^(-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

to get 70% correct question out of 20 the student have correct 14 questions correct.

probability of getting answer correct p= 1/5=0.2

probability of getting answer wrong q= 4/5=0.8

its case of binomial distribution where

n= 20, r= 14 , p= 0.2 and q= 0.8

therefore

[tex]_{20}^{14}\textrm{C}\times 0.2^{14}\times0.8^{6}[\tex]

solving we get

1.66479*10^(-6)

The probability would be 0.000017.

70% of the 20 questions is 14 questions correct.  Using a binomial distribution for this, we have:

_{20}C_{14}(0.2)^{14}\times (1-0.2)^{20-14}
\\
\\ \frac{20!}{14!6!}\times (0.2)^{14} \times (0.8)^6
\\
\\ \approx 0.000017

A bag contains 20 marbles: 12 red, 4 blue, 3 yellow, and 1 green. Arielle takes out 2 marbles. What is the probability that they
Marysya12 [62]

Total number of marbles in the bag =20

Number of blue marbles =4

Now we just want two blue marbles out of four.

Probability of taking out first marble which is blue =4/20

Now after we took out one blue marble , number of blue marbles left are 3.

Probability of taking out second marble which is blue =3/20

Total probability = 4/20 *3/20 = 12/400

So probability of taking out two blue marbles is 0.03 or 12/400.
