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%)

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. It's length is 8 ft. Longer than twice it's width. Find the length and w
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: length = 24 ft

Width = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the barn.

Let W represent the width of the barn.

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. This means that

LW = 192- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

It's length is 8 ft longer than twice it's width. This means that

L = 2W + 8

Substituting L = 2W + 8 into equation 1, it becomes

W(2W + 8) = 192

2W² + 8W = 192

2W² + 8W - 192 = 0

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

W² + 4W - 96 = 0

W² + 12W - 8W - 96 = 0

W(W + 12) - 8(W + 12) = 0

(W - 8)(W + 12) = 0

W = 8 or W = - 12

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 8

L = 192/W = 192/8

L = 24

Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form.<br> (X+2)(X+ 3) =
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

X to the second power + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute (X + 2) and (X + 3)

you should get X to the second power + 3x + 2x + 6

then you add like terms (3x + 2x)

then you should get X to the second power + 5x + 6

I wouldn’t trust the links to a “photo” like the people in the comments said. If you give me the equation of the line the question is taking about I could solve it for you.

What would my final balance be if i put $650 in the bank for 60 months with an interest rate of 6%?
Flauer [41]
Your final balance would be $2,340.

I = Prt
Percent (6%) x rate (650) x time (60 months) = 2,340

6% = 0.06

0.06 x 60 x 650 = 2,340
