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.

The manager of the Danvers-Hilton Resort Hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekendis $600 or less. Amember of the hote
alexdok [17]

Answer:

H_{0}: \mu \leq 600\text{ dollars}\\H_A: \mu > 600\text{ dollars}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Manager's claim: The mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less.

A member of the hotel’s accounting staff noticed that the total charges for guest bills have been increasing in recent months.

A sample of weekend guest bills were collected to test the manager’s claim.

We design the null and alternate hypothesis in the following manner:

H_{0}: \mu \leq 600\text{ dollars}\\H_A: \mu > 600\text{ dollars}

Conclusion when null hypothesis cannot be rejected:

When we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis, thus, we have enough evidence to support the manager's claim that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less.

Conclusion when null hypothesis can be rejected:

When the null hypothesis is rejected, we accept the alternate hypothesis.

Thus, there are not sufficient evidence to support the manager's claim  that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less.

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the sum of the first five terms is 250,find the sequence​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The  sequence  is:

10, 30, 50, 70, 90.....................

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

First term (a) = 10

Common difference (d) = ?

Sum of first 5 terms (S_{5}) = 250

or, \frac{n}{2} [{2a+(n-1)d}] = 250

or, \frac{5}{2} [2*10 + 4d]=250

or, \frac{5}{2} * 4[5+d]=250

or, 10(5 + d) =250

or, 5 + d = 25

∴ d = 20

Now,

2nd term = a + d = 10 + 20 = 30

3rd term = a + 2d = 10 + 2*20 = 10 + 40 = 50

4th term = a + 3d = 10 + 3*20 = 10 + 60 = 70

5th term = a + 4d = 10 + 4*20 = 10 + 80 = 90
