The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5

The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is

                (0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5)  =  0.125  =  12.5% .

============================

Here are all the ways your answer sheet could wind up:
(R = a right answer.  W = a wrong answer.)

W W W 
W W R
W R W
W R R
R W W
R W R
R R W
R R R

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions:  1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 2 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions:  1 way

Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses, 
then on the average, the score you expect is

      (0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8

   =                  400 / 8

   =                      50%  .  

If you're happy with that score, great !  
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.

Help me please pass math
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a bit sloppy. In higher math courses it would not be permitted. I'll give you the general rule that applies to this question -- sort of.

If you have a triangle that hast angles of 100 50 and 30

The largest side will be opposite the 100 degree angle.

The smallest side will be opposite the 30 degree angle.

So for the question, you are intended to say that CD > AB because CD is opposite a 43 degree angle and AB is opposite a 40 degree angle.

So the answer is Since 43 > 40 then CD>AB
