$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= 3^x \qquad 
\stackrel{[1,4]}{\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=4
\end{cases}}\implies \cfrac{f(4)-f(1)}{4-1}\implies \cfrac{3^4~-~3^1}{3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{81-3}{3}\implies \cfrac{78}{3}\implies 26$

Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering

Alla [95]

Answer:

a) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To approximate this distribution we have to calculate the mean and the standard distribution.

The mean is the proportion p=0.85.

The standard deviation can be calculates as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{100} }=0.04$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 100-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.04} =-1.75$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) In this case, the number of questions is 250, so the standard deviation needs to be calculated again:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{250} }=0.02$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 250-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.02} =-3.5$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Gwar [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

do 21×3.14= 65.94

then divide by 2 since its a semicircle

equals: 32.97

than find perimeter altogether
