P( at least 8 correct ) = 
<span>........P( 8 ) + P( 9 ) + P( 10 ) = </span>
<span>........(10 C 8).5^10 + (10 C 9).5^10 + (10 C 10).5^10 = ........56*.5^10 = 0.0546875 </span>

<span>Note: Let C denote correct and I denote incorrect. Suppose that guessing results in 8 correct and 2 incorrect answers. One possible outcome is CCCCCCCCII, for example. We can think of the number of ways of getting exactly 8 correct to be the same as the number of ways of selecting 8 spots for the correct answers times the number of ways of selecting two spots for the remaining two answers. There are (10 C 8) ways to select the positions for the correct answers and precisely one way to select the remaining two positions for the incorrect answers. Therefore, there are there are 10 C 8 = 45 ways to get 8 correct. Similarly, there are 10 C 9 = 10 ways to get 9 correct, and 10 C 10 = 1 way to get all 10 correct.</span>

Yes I agree with that because you combined the terms in the monomial correctly and the degree of the monomial was greater then the degree of any other mono/binomials in the polynomial

In a list of all 3 digit numbers whose digits add up to 9, what is the median
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Waddup bro. For your answer, think of it this way. What 3 digits will make up 9? 1 x 9 is 9. So that would work. find it out by trying out different combination that would make up 9. I'm not gonna write all of 'em but 3 digits would add up to 9. There are no other groups of numbers adding up to 9. 4. Add up the remaining digits, 5 + 5 + 0 + 3 = 13. 5.13 is more than 9, so 1 + 3 = 4.  To find the median, the data should be arranged in order from least to greatest. If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers. So add all up the singe digits and divide it by how much there is.
