A student takes an exam containing 1414 multiple choice questions. The probability of choosing a correct answer by knowledgeable

guessing is 0.30.3. At least 99 correct answers are required to pass. If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the students guesses the correct answer, or he guesses the wrong answer. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 14, p = 0.3.

If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass?

He needs to guess at least 9 answers correctly. So

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{14,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{5} = 0.0066

P(X = 10) = C_{14,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{4} = 0.0014

P(X = 11) = C_{14,11}.(0.3)^{11}.(0.7)^{3} = 0.0002

P(X = 12) = C_{14,12}.(0.3)^{12}.(0.7)^{2} = 0.000024

P(X = 13) = C_{14,13}.(0.3)^{13}.(0.7)^{1} = 0.000002

P(X = 14) = C_{14,14}.(0.3)^{14}.(0.7)^{0} \cong 0

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) = 0.0066 + 0.0014 + 0.0002 + 0.000024 + 0.000002 = 0.0082

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

What number is in the ten-thousandths spot of pi?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:To figure out the value you have to look at all of the numbers from right to left.  You start with the ones place and get prgressively bigger going up by a multiple of 10 each time.  So you have the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc.  In the number in your example, you have 3 ones, 4 tens (or 40), 1 hundred or (100), 0 thousands, and 5 ten thousands (50, 000).  You can write the number in expanded form to help you figure out the value.  50,000 + 100 + 40 +3.

Suppose the parent population has an exponential distribution with a mean of 15 and standard deviation of 12. Use the Central Li
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The sampling distribution of the sample mean of size 30 will be approximately normal with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the population, we have that:

Mean = 15

Standard deviaiton = 12

Sample of 30

By the Central Limit Theorem

Mean 15

Standard deviation s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{30}} = 2.19

Approximately normal

The sampling distribution of the sample mean of size 30 will be approximately normal with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.19.
