(adapted from Ross, 2.37) Your math professor gives you a set of 10 problems and tells you that the final exam will consist of a

random selection of 5 of them. If you figured out how to do 7 of the problems, what is the probability that you answer correctly (a) all 5 problems? (b) at least 4 of the proble

Answer:

Mr. Martin’s math test, which is worth 100 points, has 35 problems. Each problem is worth either 5 points or 2 points.

Let x = the number of questions worth 5 points.

Let y = the number of questions worth 2 points.

x + y = 35,

5x + 2y = 100

How many problems of each point value are on the test?

10 problems worth 5 points and 25 problems worth 2 points

15 problems worth 5 points and 20 problems worth 2 points

20 problems worth 5 points and 15 problems worth 2 points

25 problems worth 5 points and 10 problems worth 2 points

A is the correct answer

Answer:

(a) 1/2

(b) 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes

(a) Number of possible outcomes = 5 questions, number of total outcomes = 10 questions

Probability (I answer all 5 problems correctly) = 5/10 = 1/2

(b) Probability (I answer at least 4 of the problems correctly) means I either answer 4 of the problems or all 5 problems correctly = 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10

Find the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x^2 + 3 at x = 2 and x = –1​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Let the polynomial be f(x) = 5x – 4x^2 + 3

Now, for x = 2,

f(2) = 5(2) – 4(2)^2 + 3

=> f(2) = 10 – 16 + 3 = –3

Or, the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x^2 + 3 at x = 2 is -3.

Similarly, for x = –1,

f(–1) = 5(–1) – 4(–1^)2 + 3

=> f(–1) = –5 –4 + 3 = -6

The value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = -1 is -6.

Bumek [7]

Answer:   6\dfrac{3}{8}\text{ inches}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Original length = 15\dfrac{1}{8} inches

=\dfrac{8\times15+1}{8}=\dfrac{121}{8} inches                      ( In improper fraction )

Length of piece cut from original = 8\dfrac{3}{4} inches

=\dfrac{4\times8+3}{4}= \dfrac{35}{4} inches                 ( In improper fraction )

Length of piece leftover piece =  (Original length ) - (Length of piece cut )

=\dfrac{121}{8}-\dfrac{35}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{121-2\times35}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{121-70}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{51}{8}\\\\=6\dfrac{3}{8}\text{ inches}

Hence, the leftover piece will be 6\dfrac{3}{8}\text{ inches}  long.
