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%)

In order to do this, you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem which is a^2 +b^2=c^2 It does not matter in what order a and b are, but c is always the hypotenuse or the side across from the right angle. First, you substitute 24 in for a and 45 in for b so your equation so far would look like 24^2 + 45^2 = c^2 Then, you square 24 and 45 and get 576+2025=c^2 Then you add the two to get 2601=c^2 Finally, you would square root both sides and get 51=c So the width of the recycling bin is 51 inches long
