Answer:

1)0.2502

2)0.475

3)0.003505

Step-by-step explanation:

Total No. of question n= 10

There are four choices in each question

So, Probability of success p = \frac{1}{4}

Probability of failure q  = 1- \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

We will use binomial over here

P(X=x)=^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}

1)

P(X = 3)=^{10}C_3 (\frac{1}{4})^3 (\frac{3}{4})^7\\P(X = 3)=\frac{10!}{3!7!} (\frac{1}{4})^3 (\frac{3}{4})^7\\P(X = 3)=0.2502

2)  P(X > 2)=1-P(X\leq 2)

P(X>2)=1-(P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2))

P(X>2)=1-(^{10}C_0 (\frac{1}{4})^0 (\frac{3}{4})^{10}+(^{10}C_1 (\frac{1}{4})^1 (\frac{3}{4})^9+^{10}C_2 (\frac{1}{4})^2 (\frac{3}{4})^8)

P(X>2)=1-((\frac{1}{4})^0 (\frac{3}{4})^{10}+(\frac{10!}{1!9!} (\frac{1}{4})^1 (\frac{3}{4})^9+\frac{10!}{2!8!}  (\frac{1}{4})^2 (\frac{3}{4})^8)

P(X>2)=0.475

3)

P(X\geq 7)=P(X=7)+P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)\\\\P(X\geq 7)=^{10}C_7 (\frac{1}{4})^7 (\frac{3}{4})^{3}+(^{10}C_8 (\frac{1}{4})^8 (\frac{3}{4})^2+^{10}C_9 (\frac{1}{4})^9 (\frac{3}{4})^1+^{10}C_{10} (\frac{1}{4})^{10} (\frac{3}{4})^0\\\\P(X\geq 7)=\frac{10!}{7!3!} (\frac{1}{4})^7 (\frac{3}{4})^{3}+\frac{10!}{8!2!} (\frac{1}{4})^8 (\frac{3}{4})^2+\frac{10!}{9!1!} (\frac{1}{4})^9 (\frac{3}{4})^1+\frac{10!}{10!0!}(\frac{1}{4})^{10} (\frac{3}{4})^0\\\\P(X\geq 7)=0.003505

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = -x + 1

y = 4x - 14

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

y = 4x - 14

  1. Multiply everything by -1:                    -y = -4x + 14

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

y = -x + 1

-y = -4x + 14

<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Elimination</em>

  1. Combine equations:                    0 = -5x + 15
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                               -15 = -5x
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                       3 = x
  4. Rewrite:                                        x = 3

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

  1. Define equation:                    y = -x + 1
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                       y = -3 + 1
  3. Add:                                        y = -2

How can we use ratios and proportional relationships to help us in our daily lives?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

In cooking (recipes).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the serving size for a recipe is not adequate for the number of people you are serving, you will have to convert the amounts(measurements) of the ingredients to suit your needs. You will do this by first creating a ratio defining the relationship between the serving size of the given recipe to the number of people needed to be served. For example, if a recipe serves 4 people, and you need to serve 8, your ratio would simplify to 1/2. This means you must proportionally relate this ratio to the individual amounts of each ingredient.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.012 \times {10}^{ - 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. the number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. if the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. if the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
