Answer:

you want 4 correct and 16 incorrect

there are 20 questions

each question has four answers, so

P(right answer) = 1/4

P(wrong answer) = 3/4

----

Since you want 4 correct of 20 we have a combination of 20C4

This is a binomial problem where p = 1/4, q = 3/4 and we get

(20 "choose" 4)*(probability correct)^(number correct)*(probability incorrect)^(number incorrect)

putting numbers in we get

(20c4)*(1/4)^4*(3/4)^16

This gives us

~ .189685

A conical-shaped umbrella has a radius of 0.4 m and a height of 0.45 m. Calculate the amount of fabric needed to manufacture thi
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

0.76m²

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the following information.

Radius = 0.4m

Height = 0.45m

To solve this question, The umbrella is CONICAL in shape and it has no BASE, we would be finding the lateral surface area of a cone. Since we are given height and radius :

Lateral Surface Area of a cone =

πr√(h² + r²)

= π × 0.4√(0.45² + 0.4)

= 0.7566m²

≈ Approximately = 0.76m²

Therefore, the amount of fabric needed to manufacture this umbrella is 0.76m²

Given that a rectangle has a length of 5/2x + 10 with a width of 5/2x + 5, formulate an expression to represents the area of the
stepan [7]

Answer:

<h3>               A =  ²⁵/₄x² + ⁷⁵/₂x + 50</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

L = ⁵/₂x + 10

W = ⁵/₂x + 5

A = L•W

A = (⁵/₂x + 10)(⁵/₂x + 5)

A = ⁵/₂x•⁵/₂x + ⁵/₂x•5 + 10•⁵/₂x + 10•5

A = ²⁵/₄x² + ²⁵/₂x + ⁵⁰/₂x + 50

A =  ²⁵/₄x² + ⁷⁵/₂x + 50

Or if yoy mean:

L = 5/(2x) + 10

W = 5/(2x) + 5

A = [5/(2x) + 10][5/(2x) + 5] = 25/(4x²) + 75/(2x) + 50
