A multiple-choice examination has 20 questions, each with five possible answers, only one of which is correct. Suppose that one

of the students who takes the examination answers each of the questions with an independent random guess. What is the probability that he answers at least seventeen questions correctly? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

The probability that the student answers at least seventeen questions correctly is 8.03\times 10^{-10}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the number of correctly answered questions.

It is provided all the questions have five options with only one correct option.

Then the probability of selecting the correct option is,

P(X)=p=\frac{1}{5}=0.20

There are <em>n</em> = 20 question in the exam.

It is also provided that a student taking the examination answers each of the questions with an independent random guess.

Then the random variable can be modeled by the Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 20 and <em>p</em> = 0.20.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={20\choose x}\ 0.20^{x}\ (1-0.20)^{20-x};\ x =0,1,2,3...

Compute the probability that the student answers at least seventeen questions correctly as follows:

P(X\geq 17)=P (X=17)+P (X=18)+P (X=19)+P (X=20)

=\sum\limits^{20}_{x=17}{{20\choose x}\ 0.20^{x}\ (1-0.20)^{20-x}}\\\\=0.00000000077+0.000000000032+0.00000000000084+0.000000000000042\\\\=0.000000000802882\\\\=8.03\times10^{-10}

Thus, the probability that the student answers at least seventeen questions correctly is 8.03\times 10^{-10}.

BRAINLIEST AND FIVE STARS TO CORRECT ANSWER
Llana [10]
The answer is the first option, <-20, -42>.

We can find this by first finding what -2u would equal by multiplying <5, 6> by -2. This gives us <-10, -12>.

Then we need to find out what 5v is equal to, by multiplying <-2, -6> by 5 to get <-10, -30>.

Now that we know what -2u and 5v are, we can substitute them into the equation and get
<-10, -12> + <-10, -30>, which we can split up into -10 - 10 = -20, and -12 - 30 = -42, so your final answer is <-20, -42>.

I hope this helps!

Write the given differential equation in the form L(y) = g(x), where L is a linear differential operator with constant coefficie
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The differential equation will be like the one shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Let the equation be given as:

y(4) + 8y' = 6

The equation will be expressed linearly as follows:

y(4) + 8\frac{dy}{dx}  = 6

8\frac{dy}{dx}+ 4y = 6

This is the linear form of the differential equation.
