X= miles driven in April


(253 + 277 + 280 + x)/4= 284
add in parentheses

(810 + x)/4= 284
multiply both sides by 4

810 + x= 1136
subtract 810 from both sides

x= 326 miles


ANSWER: She must drive 326 miles in April to average at least 284 miles January through April.

Hope this helps! :)

2. What would a point on the horizontal axis represent? What about on the vertical axis?
Nikitich [7]
In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system. As such, these points satisfy x = 0.


A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines, or axes, labeled like number lines. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the origin. The numbers on a coordinate grid are used to locate points.

Richard has just been given an l0-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has five answers, of which o
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that 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.

Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct

This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

10 questions.

This means that n = 10

A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?

This is P(X = 10)

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

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024

0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?

None correctly, so P(X = 0)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074

0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?

This is

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

Since P(X = 0) = 0.1074, from item b.

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926

0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

This is

P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which

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

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055

P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0

So

P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly
