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.

A train travels from Washington DC to new york(225 miles). The train departs at 4:55 PM and arrives in New York at 7:55 PM. What
mylen [45]

Answer:

The average speed is:

\var{v}=75\: miles/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed equation is given by:

\var{v}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Were:

  • Δx is the displacement (225 miles)
  • Δt is the change in time (3 hours)

Then we have:

\var{v}=\frac{225}{3}

\var{v}=75\: miles/h

I hope it helps you!

Ln(x+7)=3<br> This is part of a webquest any help would be nice.
Assoli18 [71]

ln(x−7)==4/3

To solve for x, rewrite the equation using properties of logarithms.

e^ln(x−7) =e^4/3

Solve for x

x=e^4/3 + 7

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

x= e^4/3+7

Decimal Form:

x=10.79366789

What is your opinion that we should raise the drinking/smoking ages to 21?
timofeeve [1]
In my opinion the ages for drinking/smoking should not be raised to 21. While I am not a fan of either and they almost never lead to good things, it just seems odd to me that a person can fight for his country at 18, but can't smoke or drink.
