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.

dimensions of a building are 740 feet by 800 feet. If 1inch represents 8 feet. What are the dimensions of the building on the dr
nevsk [136]

Answer: 92.5 inches by 100 inches.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that 1 inch represents 8 feet and the dimensions of the building are 740 feet by 800 feet, therefore, you must apply the proccedure shown below:

\frac{740ft*1in}{8ft}=92,5in

\frac{800ft*1in}{8ft}=100in

2. Then, as you can see, the dimensions of the building on the drawing are 92.5 inches by 100 inches.

Can i have the answer to this <br> pic is below
eduard

Answer:

question 1: m = 3/2

question 2: m = 1/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation is of form

y = mx+c

where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept of the line.

Y intercept is point on y axis where the line intersects the y axis.

____________________________________

given

y = 3/2 x

comparing it with y = mx+c

we have m = 3/2 .

since y = 3/2 x does not have constant term so it can be taken as 0. hence c is 0

_________________________________________

slope for any two point (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on coordinate plane is given by

slope = (x2-x1)/y2-y1)

From the given table lets take two point as (2,190) and(4,380)

Thus, slope m is given by

m = (4-2)/(380-190) = 2/190 = 1/95

m = 1/95

Though, slope can be taken by dividing y by x (y/x). It is good practice to use two point form formula as given above . Provided two points are given

Please mark it the brainliest.

16w+2 simplified<br><br> Factor the expression by the greatest common factor
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

2(8w + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look on either side of the plus sign. What ever you see that is common is a common factor. In this case it is also the greatest common factor.

2 appears on both sides of the plus sign.

2(16w/2 + 2/2)
