What two numbers multiply to be -375 and adds to be 10?

A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 11 questions. Each question has five choices. The student guesses randomly at ea

Answer:

a) P(6) = 0.0097

b) P(More than 3) = 0.1611

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is guessed correctly, or it is not. Questions are independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 11 questions.

This means that $n = 11$

Each question has five choices.

This means that $p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$

(a) Find P (6)

This is P(X = 6).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{11,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0097$

P(6) = 0.0097

(b) Find P (More than 3).

Either P is 3 or less, or it is more than three. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X > 3) = 1$

We want P(X > 3). So

$P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)$

In which

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{11,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{11} = 0.0859$

$P(X = 1) = C_{11,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.2362$

$P(X = 2) = C_{11,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2953$

$P(X = 3) = C_{11,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.2215$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0859 + 0.2362 + 0.2953 + 0.2215 = 0.8389$

Then

$P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.8389 = 0.1611$

P(More than 3) = 0.1611

Serena changes the number 3 to a 6 on the spinner. What are the changes of landing on an odd number?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Equally likely

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 6 possible outcomes and they are counting in numerical order then there are 3 even numbers and 3 odd numbers which means its a 50/50 chance to spin on either.
