Step-by-step answer:

assuming the true-false test have equal probabilities (each 0.5), we can use the binomial probability to calculate the sum of probabilities of getting 10, 11 or 12 questions correctly out of 12.

p=probability of success = 0.5

N=number of questions

x = number of correct answers

then

P(x) = C(N,x)(p^x)((1-p)^(N-x))

where C(N,x) = N!/(x!(N-x)!) = number of combinations of taking x objects out of N.

P(10) = C(12,10)(0.5^10)((1-0.5)^2) = 33/2048 = 0.01611

P(11) = C(12,11)(0.5^11)((1-0.5)^1)     =  3/1024 = 0.00293

P(12) = C(12,12)(0.5^12)((1-0.5)^0) =  1/4096 = 0.00024

for a total probability of 79/4096 = 0.01929

Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl. In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl. How old are the girls n
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cheryl's age = x

Rita's age = y

Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl

(y - 2) = 3(x - 2)

y - 2 = 3x - 6

y = 3x - 6 + 2

= 3x - 4

y = 3x - 4

In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl

(y + 3) = 2(x + 3)

y + 3 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 6 - 3

= 2x + 3

y = 2x + 3

Equate both equations

3x - 4 = 2x + 3

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 3 + 4

x = 7 years

Substitute x = 7 into

y = 2x + 3

= 2(7) + 3

= 14 + 3

= 17

y = 17 years

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years

Can someone explain rational and irrational numbers to me? Odysseyware sucks at teaching.
umka2103 [35]
I'm doing geometry for credit advancement in Odysseyware. Brainly and Openstudy are saviors. Anyways. So, and irrational number can't be written as a fraction, but can be written as a decimal. An irrational number has endless non repeating number to the right of the decimal point. A rational number is a number that can be written in a ratio. Which in turn means it can be written as a fraction. Both number of the fraction (numerator and denominator) are whole numbers. Any whole number is a rational number.  <span />
