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.

In 2–4, write Yes or No to indicate whether the expressions are equivalent. 2. 10x - 3 + 2x - 5 and 4(3x - 2) 3. 3y + 3 and 9(y
Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 10x - 3 + 2x - 5 and 4(3x - 2)

10x - 3 + 2x - 5

Upon simplifying;

10x + 2x - 3 - 5

12x - 8

4(3x - 2)

12x - 8

Both expressions are equivalent - Yes!

3. 3y + 3 and 9(y + 1/3)

9(y + 1/3)

upon simplifying;

9y + 9 (1/3)

9y + 3

3y + 3

Both expressions are not equivalent - No!

4. 6(3x + 1) and 9x + 6 + 9x

6(3x + 1)

upon simplifying;

6(3x) + 6 (1)

18x + 6

9x + 6 + 9x

Upon simplifying;

9x + 9x + 6

18x + 6

Both expressions are equivalent - Yes!

Answer:

The company should make 0 jumbo and 300 regular biscuits.

The maximum income is $42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say J is the number of jumbo biscuits and R is the number of regular biscuits.

The oven can bake at most 300 biscuits.  So:

J + R ≤ 300

Each jumbo biscuit uses 2 oz of flour, and each regular biscuit uses 1 oz of flour.  There is 500 oz of flour available.  Therefore:

2J + R ≤ 500

Income from jumbo biscuits is $0.12, and income from regular biscuits is $0.14.  So the total income is:

I = 0.12J + 0.14R

Graph the two inequalities under the condition that J ≥ 0 and R ≥ 0:

desmos.com/calculator/aea00cmpwm

The region where the inequalities intersect has 4 corners:

(J, R) = (0, 0); (0, 300); (250, 0); (200, 100)

Find the income at each point:

(0, 0): I = 0

(0, 300): I = 42

(250, 0): I = 30

(200, 100): I = 38

The company makes maximum profit of $42 by baking 0 jumbo biscuits and 300 regular biscuits.
