Answer:

The probability the he or she will answer correctly is 1.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

In all, there are 18 problems. In this question, the order of which the problems are sorted for the quiz makes no difference. For example, if the question A of the quiz is P1 and question B P2, and question A P2 and question B P1, it is the same thing.

There are 18 problems and 9 are going to be selected. So, there is going to be a combination of 9 elements from a set of 18 elements.

A combination of n elements from a set of m objects has the following formula:

C_{(m,n)} = \frac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}

In this question, m = 18, n = 9. So the total number of possibilities is:

T_{p} = C_{(18,9)} = \frac{18!}{9!(18-9)!} = 48620

Now we have to calculate the number of desired outcomes. This number is a combination of 9 elements from a set of 13 elements(13 is the number of problems that the student has figured out how to do).

Now, m = 13, n = 9. The number of desired possibilities is:

D_{p} = C_{(13,9)} = \frac{13!}{9!(13-9)!} = 715

The probability is the number of desired possibilities divided by the number of total possibilities. So

P = \frac{715}{48620} = 0.015 = 1.5%

The probability the he or she will answer correctly is 1.5%

Please help me find x using pythagorean theorem
astra-53 [7]

a2+b2=c2

a=x

b=24

c=26

a2+24 squared=26 squared

a2+576=676

-576 -576

a2=100

Then, square root both sides.

It should be a/x=10

Evaluate each expression for the given value (please answer all)
Anna [14]

Answer:

-20a - 65 = -104  for  a = 2.7

-6x + 52 = 45  for  x = 1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-20a - 50  for  a = 2.7

Insert 2.7 in for a.

-20(2.7) - 50 = -54 - 50 = -104

-6x + 52  for  x = 1 1/6

Insert 1 1/6 for x.

-6(1 1/6) + 52 = -7 + 52 = 45
