Answer:

10 2/15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a candle that is 11 2/5 inches tall

It burns 1 1/8 inches per hour. We need to divide to see how long the candle will last

11 2/5 ÷ 1 1/8

I will convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions

11 2/5 = (5*11+2)/5 = 57/5

1 1/8 = (8*1+1)/8 = 9/8

57/5 ÷ 9/8

Copy dot flip

57/5 * 8/9

456/45

Now we change it back to a mixed number

45 goes into 456 10 times with 6 left over

10 6/45

This simplifies to 10 2/15

A student takes an exam containing 1414 multiple choice questions. The probability of choosing a correct answer by knowledgeable

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the students guesses the correct answer, or he guesses the wrong answer. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 14, p = 0.3$ .

If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass?

He needs to guess at least 9 answers correctly. So

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{14,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{5} = 0.0066$

$P(X = 10) = C_{14,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{4} = 0.0014$

$P(X = 11) = C_{14,11}.(0.3)^{11}.(0.7)^{3} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 12) = C_{14,12}.(0.3)^{12}.(0.7)^{2} = 0.000024$

$P(X = 13) = C_{14,13}.(0.3)^{13}.(0.7)^{1} = 0.000002$

$P(X = 14) = C_{14,14}.(0.3)^{14}.(0.7)^{0} \cong 0$

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) = 0.0066 + 0.0014 + 0.0002 + 0.000024 + 0.000002 = 0.0082$

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Line p passes through A(-2, -4) and has a slope of - 1/2

Alenkasestr [34]

M = -1/2
(x₁, y₁) = (-2,-4)

Find the equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-4) = -1/2 (x - (-2))
y + 4 = -1/2 (x + 2)
2(y + 4) = -1 (x + 2)
2y + 8 = -x - 2
x + 2y = -10
