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

Answer:

both rates of change equal the slope of the line (3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

We calculate the rate of change using the formula:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

for the first interval [0,6], we calculate the y-values at x=0 and x=6;

at x=0 : y=\frac{3}{2} (0)+2=2

at x=6 : y=\frac{3}{2} (6)+2=11

therefore, the rate of change in this interval is: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{11-2}{6-0}=\frac{9}{6} =\frac{3}{2}

For the second interval [-4,4], we calculate the y-values at x=-4 and x=4;

at x=-4 : y=\frac{3}{2} (-4)+2=-4

at x=4 : y=\frac{3}{2} (4)+2=8

therefore, the rate of change in this interval is: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{8-(-4)}{4-(-4)}=\frac{12}{8} =\frac{3}{2}

Part b):

Notice that both rates of change equal the value of the slope of the linear function (3/2)

Given r(x) = x square +2x -1 and s(x) = x-1 what is the value of r(s(3))
Amanda [17]

Answer:

r(s(3))=7

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

r(x)=x^{2} +2x-1

s(x)=x-1

we know that

The function composition is equal to

(r ∘ s )(x) = r(s(x))

In the function r(x) substitute the variable x by the function s(x)

so

r(s(x))=(x-1)^{2} +2(x-1)-1

For x=3

substitute the value of x=3 in the function composition

r(s(3))=(3-1)^{2} +2(3-1)-1

r(s(3))=(2)^{2} +2(2)-1

r(s(3))=4+4-1

r(s(3))=7

Need help on this one question please
Elan Coil [88]
P(x, y) Q(x,y)
P(-2, -1) start at 0. Go to the left two squares, then go down 1 square. mark a point there
Q(2, 4) start at 0. Go to the right two squares, go up 4 squares. mark a point there.
connect two points
make a right triangle
Then use the pythereom 
4^{2} + 5^{2} = (PQ)^{2}
41 = (PQ)^{2}
\sqrt{41}  = PQ
