<h3>The probability of  student passing the quiz with  at least 50% of the questions correct is 0.05457.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of T/F question = 10

The minimum answers needed correctly answered = 8

So, student needs to answer at least 8 questions correctly.

Here, the possibility of answering a question correctly  = (\frac{1}{2})   = p = 0.5

Also, the possibility of answering a question wrong  = (\frac{1}{2})  = q = 0.5

Now, to pass he needs to answer 8 or more (  8 , 9 or 10) answers correctly.

P(answering 8 correct answer)  = ^{10}C_8(p)^8(q)^2 = ^{10}C_8(0.5)^8(0.5)^2  = 0.0439

P(answering 9 correct answer)  =  ^{10}C_9(p)^9(q)^1 = ^{10}C_9(0.5)^9(0.5)^1  = 0.0097

P(answering 10 correct answer)  = ^{10}C_{10}(p)^{10}(q)^0 = ^{10}C_{10}(0.5)^{10}(0.5)^0  = 0.00097

So, the total Probability   = P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

= (0.0439) + (0.0097) + (0.00097)

= 0.05457

Hence, the probability that the student passes the quiz  with  at least 8 of the questions correct is 0.05457.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor between 32 and 80 is 16 not 8.  

32 (forwards) / 16 (teams) = 2 forwards on each team.

80 (guards) / 16 (teams) = 5 guards on each team.

Find the volume of the square pyramid below.
miv72 [106K]

Hello!

\bf ANSWER

The volume of the square pyramid is approximately \boxed{ \bf 19.19~km^3}

____________________________________________________________

\bf EXPLANATION

V = a^{2}\frac{h}{3}

First, we must find the area of the square base.

A = l * w

A = 3.5 * 3.5

A = 12.25 km^2

The area of the base is 12.25 km^2. Now, multiply the base area by the perpendicular height. Then divide by 3.

V = (12.25 * 4.7) / 3

V = 19.1916666667

V ≈ 19.19 km^3
