Answer:

The variance for the number of correct answers is 2.8 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of correct answers follows binomial distribution, in which we have:

  • n identical and independents events: the 15 questions
  • two possibles results that we call success and fail: The answer is correct and the answer is incorrect
  • probability p of success and 1-p of fail. Probability 1/4 of get the answer correct and probability of 3/4 of get the answer incorrect. This probabilities are calculated on that way because every question have 4 possible answers and one of which is correct.

So, the variance for a variable x that follows a Binomial distributions is:

V(x)=n*p*(1-p)

Then, the variance for the number of correct answers is:

V(x)=15*(1/4)*(3/4) = 2.8125 ≈ 2.8

Because n is equal to 15, p is equal to 1/4 and (1-p) is equal to 3/4.

Ian wants to run 412 miles to get ready for his upcoming race. He has set up 3 markers the same distance apart to show how far h
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Each marker will be exactly <u>103</u> miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Ian wants to run 412 miles and has set up 3 markers the same distance apart.

Between the start and end of run, the 3 separate markers will divide the 412-mile distance into 4 equal segments.

So each segment = 412/4 = 103 miles

Each marker will be exactly <u>103</u> miles apart.
