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.

What are the domain and range of the function f(x) = 3x + 5? domain: (negative infinity, infinity); range: (0, infinity) domain:
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Domain : (-∞,∞)  Range : (-∞,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = 3x+5

To find: Domain and Range of f(x)

Domain is the set of values that x can take.

Range is the set of values of y corresponding to the values of x in the domain.

Here x can take any value and the domain is the set of real numbers i.e (-∞,∞).

f(x) = 3x + 5

The graph of f(x) is a straight line that extends from -∞ to +∞ and hence the range is (-∞,∞).
