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.

How to find volume of a prism
docker41 [41]

Answer:

- HOW TO FIND VOLUME OF PRISM -

1st step - Write the formula for finding the volume of a regular pentagonal prism. The formula is V = [1/2 x 5 x side x apothem] x height of the prism.

2nd step - Find the area of the pentagonal base face. Let's say the length of a side is 6 cm and the length of the apothem is 7 cm.

3rd step - Find the height. Let's say the height of the shape is 10 cm.

4th step - Multiply the area of the pentagonal base face times the height. ...

and last step - State your answer in cubic units.

A wire of length 240 inches is cut into 2 equals pieces. Each piece of wire is then bent into forming an equilateral triangle an
Tamiku [17]
240 inches cut into 2 equal pieces is just taking half of the wire.
Making the two pieces of wire 120 inches. 
If you bend one 120 inch wire into a square, that means that each side equals 30 inches. (A square has 4 sides. 120/4 = 30)
An area of a square is length times width, which the length equals 30 and width equal to thirty. 30 * 30 = 900. square inches. 
120 wire bent into a triangle makes each side equal to 40. 120/3=40. The area of an equilateral triangle is height times width. The width is just one of the sides (40 inches) but the height needs some geometry. To find the height you need to use either 30 times sin(60) or 30 times cos(30), both are equal. To be clear, I will leave the height as 30sin(60). The area will be equal to 40*30sin(60)
which can be simply written as 1200sin(60). 
So the sum of both areas is (1200sin(60)+900)
