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

a question chosen at random from a universe of possible questions. (A strong student has a higher p than a weak student.) The correctness of answers to different questions are independent. Jodi is a good student for whom p = 0.85.(a) Use the normal approximation to find the probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test.(b) If the test contains 250 questions, what is the probability that Jodi will score 78% or lower?

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%.

Solve the system:<br><br><br> x+4y=1<br><br><br> 3x+5y=10
never [62]

Answer:

x=6.25\\y=-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5y=10\\x+3y=1\\\\

Second equation times 3:

3x+9y=3

1st equation minus equation above:

-4y=7\\y=-7/4

Insert to equation:

3x+\frac{-35}{4}=10\\12x-35=40\\12x=75\\x=75/12=6.25

And employer does not on sales commission for the first $1000 of sales returns 15% sales commission on all sales made there afte
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

$600 in commission for the week paying 15% on up to $1000 daily

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sales commission, multiply the percentage 15% as 0.15 against each sales up to $1000.

Monday - 0.15 (800) = $120

Tuesday - 0.15 (600) = $90

Wednesday - 0.15 (1000) = $150

Thursday - 0.15 (800) = $120

Friday - 0.15 (800) = $120

In total that's, $600 in commission.
