Steve,Jerry and Ron were paid $29.25 to remove garden gnomes. They each worked 4 hours, exempt for Ron, who was 1 hour late. How
Alenkasestr [34]
Ron should receive $7.98. Jerry and Steve each worked for 4 hours, while Ron was one hour late, so he worked for 3 hours. Together, they worked for 4*2+3=11 hours, receiving $29.25 in total. Each hour should be paid 29.25/11=2.66 dollars. Ron worked for three hours, so he should receive 3*2.66=7.98 dollars.

Few students manage to complete their schooling without taking a standardized admissions test such as the Scholastic Achievement
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there is a punitive removal of one point for an incorrect response.

Five undiscernable choices: 20% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.20*(1) + 0.80*(-1) = -0.60

Four undiscernable choices: 25% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.25*(1) + 0.75*(-1) = -0.50

I'll use 0.33 as an approzimation for 1/3

Three undiscernable choices: 33% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.33*(1) + 0.67*(-1) = -0.33 <== The approximation is a little ugly.

Two undiscernable choices: 50% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.50*(1) + 0.50*(-1) = 0.00

And thus we see that only if you can remove three is guessing neutral. There is no time when guessing is advantageous.

One Correct Answer: 100% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 1.00*(1) + 0.00*(-1) = 1.00
