You are to take a multiple-choice exam consisting of 64 questions with 5 possible responses to each question. Suppose that you h

damaskus [11]

Answer:

a) Expected score on the exam is 12.8.

b) Variance 10.24, Standard deviation 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you guesses the answer correctly, or you does not. The probability of guessing the answer of a question correctly is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The variance of the binomial distribution is:

$V(X) = np(1-p)$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

64 questions.

So $n = 64$

5 possible answers, one correctly, chosen at random:

So $p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$

(a) What is your expected score on the exam?

$E(X) = np = 64*0.2 = 12.8$

(b) Compute the variance and standard deviation of x. Variance =Standard deviation

$V(X) = np(1-p) = 64*0.2*0.8 = 10.24$

Variance 10.24

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{64*0.2*0.8} = 3.2$

Standard deviation 3.2

The description for a certain brand of house paint claims a coverage of 460 ft2/gal. (a) express this quantity in square meters

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Given 460 $ft^2/gal$

a) convert it into $m^2/l$

=> It means $ft^2 -> m^2$ and $gal -> l$

1 ft = 0.3048 m

$1 ft^2 = 0.092903 m^2$

1 gal = 3.78541 l

$460ft^2= [tex]460\frac{ft^2}{gal} = \frac{42.7354m^2}{3.78541l} = 11.2895m^2/l$ m^2[/tex].

b. $11.2895\frac{m^{2} }{l} *1000\frac{l}{m^3} =11289.5 m^{-1}$

c.Given= $460\frac{ft^2}{gal}$

To find inverse, divide it by 1.

Inverse- $\frac{1}{460} \frac{gal}{ft^2}$

Should be easy points!

Andru [333]

Answer:

Let x represent the number from the sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x) + 2(1/x) = 20/3

2x + 2/x = 20/3

multiply both sides of the equation by 3x

6x + 6 = 20x

6x - 20x + 6 = 0

6x - 18x - 2x + 6 = 0

6x(x-3 -2(x-3) = 0

(6x-2 = 0 or x-3 = 0

6x = 2 or x = 3

x = 2/6

x = 1/3

Since x represented the number

Therefore x = 1/3 or 3
