Scando-Germanic friend, Odd Zahlen, often brings a die to class to answer multiple-choice final exam questions. Each multiple-ch

oice question on this particular examination consists of three choices, and Odd decides to pick answer (a) if a 1 or 2 appears on a roll of the die, to pick (b) if a 3 or 4 appears on the die, or to pick (c) if a 5 or 6 appears. Assume that the correct answers are uniformly distributed among the choices (a), (b), and (c). What is the probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination using this method?

Answer:

The probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination is 0.1366.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each multiple-choice questions has three options (a), (b) and (c).

The probability of getting a correct answer is, P(Correct)=\frac{1}{3} since one of the three options is correct.

But this students has an unique way of selecting the answers.

He rolls a die and according to the result of the die he marks the answers.

The sample space of rolling a die is: S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Odds of picking the three options are as follows:

  • To pick (a): If 1 or 2 rolls of the die.

        The probability to pick (a) is,

        P (Selecting\ (a))=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

  • To pick (b): If 3 or 4 rolls of a die.

        The probability to pick (a) is,

         P (Selecting\ (b))=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

  • To pick (c): If 5 or 6 rolls of the die.

        The probability to pick (a) is,

        P (Selecting\ (c))=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

Thus, all the three options have the equal probability of being picked.

Let <em>X</em> = Number of correct answers.

The number of questions is, <em>n</em> = 10 and probability of selecting a correct option is , p = \frac{1}{3}.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows Binomial distribution.

The probability function is:

P(X = x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}

Compute the probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination as:

P(X = 5)={10\choose 5}(\frac{1}{3} )^{5}(1-\frac{1}{3} )^{10-5}=0.1366

Thus, the probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination is 0.1366.

The question is saying that the line KJ is approximately equal to the line JN and that the line JN is perpendicular to the line NL. The line labeled LKN is shorter than LNK due to the fact that the line segments in LNK are longer because JN is perpendicular to NL:)

Step-by-step explanation:

(st)(6)

(st)(x)= s(x) * t(x) we multiply it

(st)(6)= s(6) * t(6)

Hope this helps.

Which is the range of the function f(x) =1/7(9)x? all real numbers all real numbers less than 0 all real numbers greater than 0
zimovet [89]
I cannot suggest anything other than the set of real numbers here, but maybe someone else can provide a better answer. As long as you increase or decrease x (which is a real number) then you will get a real number, or the infinite set of real numbers.
