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

Find the greatest common factor of 36 and 54
8090 [49]

Hey there!

To find the greatest common factor you will need to find all the factors of 36 and 54. (A factor is a number that can be divided into another number).

54 - 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27.

36 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18.

As you can see here, the factor that is the greatest is 18. Therefore, that is your answer.

Hope this helps! :)

What is a unit rate?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

<em>A unit rate is something over a unit of something else. </em>

<u>Such as:</u>  (50 miles) / hour

If you have (150 miles) / 3 hours

This is not a unit rate, therefore you have to divide the top and bottom by 3 to get the unit rate

(150/3 miles) / (3/3 hours)

(50 miles) / hour

Hope this helps :)
