Answer:
a) 0.0016
b) 0.0224
Step-by-step explanation:
If every question has 5 possible answers, the probability of getting the correct answer by guessing would be 0.20. The probability of getting an incorrect answer would be 0.80.
a)Find the probability she lucks out and answers all four questions correctly.
To do this, Allison would have to guess right the first, second, third AND fourth answers. Therefore, we have to multiply the probabilities:
0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 = 0.0016
The probability that she answers all 4 questions correctly is 0.0016.
b) Find the probability that she passes the quiz.
To pass the quiz, she has to have three OR 4 correct answers:
- The probability that she has 3 correct answers is: 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.80 (since she has to have 1 correct answer and 1 incorrect one) = .0064.
- We already calculated the probability that she guesses 4 answers correctly: 0.0016.
Now, we have to sum up these two scenarios:
0.0064 + 0.016 = 0.0224.
Thus, the probability that she passes the quiz is 0.0224
0 is the starting pointing for equations that are for positive numbers. 0 sets an easy way to figure out problems that have negatives. 0 is important to solve any problem with integers, and decimals!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+4y=29 .......(1)
6x+5y=43 .......(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 2
6x + 8y = 58......(3)
Substracting (2) from (3)
8y - 5y = 58 - 43
3y = 15
Dividing by 3
3y/3 = 15/3
y = 5
Substituting y = 5 into (2)
6x+5y=43
6x + 5(5) = 43
6x + 25 = 43
6x = 43 - 25
6x = 18
Dividing by 6
6x/6 = 18/6
x = 3
5(2)>3(1)+4
10 > 7. Is True because 10 is greather than 7. All needed to do is evaluate the x and y variables for each possibility. A, B, C D. And see if is a logical answer.
Any other combination gives you a false statement.
