Multiple-choice questions have a special grading rule determined by your instructor. Assume that your instructor has decided to

grade these questions in the following way: If you submit an incorrect answer to a multiple-choice question with n options, you will lose 1/(n−1) of the credit for that question. Just like the similar multiple-choice penalty on most standardized tests, this rule is necessary to prevent random guessing.If a multiple-choice question has five answer choices and you submit one wrong answer before getting the question correct, how much credit will you lose for that part of the question?

Answer:

  1/4 of the credit

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you n=5. Putting that into the expression for lost credit, you get ...

  1/(5-1) = 1/4

of the credit is lost for a question with 1 wrong answer.

You will lose 1/4 of the credit.

Answer:

The credit will you lose for the part of question is 1/4 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that, if you submit an incorrect answer to a multiple-choice question with n options, you will lose 1/(n−1) of the credit for that question.

Suppose the given multiple choice question has 5 answer. So for one wrong answer the loss will be:

Substitute the value of n=5 in above formula.

\frac{1}{n-1} \\\frac{1}{5-1} \\\frac{1}{4}=0.25

That means you will lose 1/4 or 0.25credit.

Now convert it into %.

\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%

Hence, the credit will you lose for the part of question is 1/4 or 25%.

How can you check that k ≥ 11 is the solution set to the inequality k + 14 ≥ 25?
Andreyy89

Answer:

K= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve for K by subtracting 14 by 25.

25-14= 11

When k is pluged into k\geq 11 the statement is true because it is equal to 11.

When plugged into k+14\geq25;

11+14 =25.

That statement is also true because 25 is equel to 25.

If R is the total resistance for a parallel circuit with two resistors of resistances of r1 and r2 then 1/r=1/r1+1/r2 find the r
Allushta [10]
A little Algebra, and we're home free!

We are given R = 20 and r2 = 75. We need to find r1.

The formula is 1/R = 1/r1 + 1/r2. Plug-in:
1/20 = 1/r1 + 1/75
1/20 - 1/75 = 1/r1
0.0366 = 1/r1
r1 = 1/0.03666
r1 = 27.272

Our answer is r1 = 27 ohms.

PLS HELP!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST <br> Solve for x and/or y:
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C) x=35

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the total amount of degrees in a rotation is 360. As the picture tells us, the opposite angles will be exactly the same. Taking this information, we can have the following equation:

4x + 2(3x+5) = 360

By now using our linear equation skills, we get:

10x+10=360

10x=350

x=35

The degree amount of x for c) is 35 degrees.
