Answer:

a)  8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) 0.2137 (21.37%)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the test contains 25 questions and each questions is independent of the others, then the random variable X= answer "x" questions correctly , has a binomial probability distribution. Then

P(X=x)= n!/((n-x)!*x!)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= total number of questions= 25

p= probability of getting a question right = 1/4

then

a) P(x=n) = p^n = (1/4)²⁵ = 8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) P(x<5)= F(5)

where F(x) is the cumulative binomial probability distribution- Then from tables

P(x<5)= F(5)= 0.2137 (21.37%)

GaryK [48]

Answer:

A multiple regression equation for this model can be expressed as:

y=b_0+b_1x_1+b_2x_2+b_3x_3

Step-by-step explanation:

To model this problem as a multiple regression equation, we need to define which are the independent and dependent variables.

The dependent variable is the one which we want to predict for any set of independent variables values. This is the case of the driver's automotive insurance monthly premiums.

The driver's automotive insurance monthly premiums is the dependent variable "y".

The independent variables are the ones that explain the dependent variable variation. In this case there are: number of miles driven per week (x1); the age of the car, in years (x2); and the number of accidents in which the driver has been involved in the past 5 years (x3).

Then, a multiple regression equation for this model can be expressed as:

y=b_0+b_1x_1+b_2x_2+b_3x_3
