Complete Question

Assume that random guesses are made for 7 ​multiple-choice questions on a test with 5 choices for each​ question, so that there are n=7 ​trials, each with probability of success​ (correct) given by  p=0.20. Find the probability of no correct answers.

Answer:

The  probability is P(X = 0 ) = 0.210

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The number of trial is  n =  7

    The  probability of  success is  p =  0.20

   

Generally the probability of failure is

       q =  1- 0.20

       q = 0.80

Given that this choices follow a binomial distribution as there is only two probabilities i.e success or failure

Then the probability is mathematically represented as

          P(X = 0 ) = \left n} \atop {}} \right. C_0 *  p^{0} *  q^{n- 0}    

          P(X = 0 ) = \left 7} \atop {}} \right. C_0 *  (0.2)^{0} *  (0.8)^{7- 0}

Here   \left 7} \atop {}} \right. C_0 =  1

=>      P(X = 0 ) = 1 *  1*  (0.8)^{7- 0}

=>     P(X = 0 ) = 0.210

Find the side length of the triangle
Levart [38]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

The markings on the triangle means that this is an equilateral triangle (All sides are the same length)

So, we can set the two equations we have equal to each other

4x + 7 = 3x + 10

x + 7 = 10

x = 3

Plug it into either equation

3(3) + 10 = 19

A speedboat traveling at a constant speed arrives at its destination in 35 minutes if it traveled 70 miles then what was the spe
dalvyx [7]

So speed = distance divided by time, therefore 70 miles divided by 35 minutes = 120mph. The speedboats speed was 120mph.

Hope this helps

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the​ length, find the
Paul [167]
So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\  \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow  \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"

In a class of 42 students, 25 take biology,15 take history,and 18 take biology but not history.i.Draw a Venn diagram to show the
LenaWriter [7]

In the class, there is a total of 42 students.

25 take biology.

15 take history.

18 take biology but not history.

There are four situations that you have to include in the Venn diagram:

"The students take only biology"

"The students take only history"

"The students take biology and history"

"The students take neither classes"

To draw the Venn diagram, you have to make one circle for each subject, i.e. one circle for biology and one for history, and label them.

Then you have to enter the similarities between both subjects, this means, where the circles overlap, you will find the students that take both subjects.

Finally, outside the circles, you will find the students that take neither subject:

Now, you have to determine how many students are included in each part of the Venn Diagram.

1) You know that 25 students take biology and that 18 take biology but not history, to determine the number of students that take both subjects, you have to calculate the difference between both values:

25-18=7

7 students take biology and history.

2) 15 students take history out of these you know that 7 take also biology. To determine the number of students that take only history, you have to calculate the difference between both values:

15-7=8

8 students take history but not biology.

3) To determine the number of students that take neither class, you have to subtract to the total number of students, those who take only biology plus those who take only history plus those who take both classes:

\begin{gathered} \text{Neither}=\text{Total-(only biology + only history + both)} \\ \text{Neither}=42-(18+7+8) \\ \text{Neither}=42-33 \\ \text{Neither}=9 \end{gathered}

9 Students of the class take neither class.

Finally, you can write each value in the corresponding part of the Venn diagram:

• Inside the green circle, you have to include the 18 students that take only biology.

,

• Inside the blue circle, you have to include the 8 students that take only history.

,

• Where both circles overlap, you have to include the 7 students that take both classes.

,

• Outside the circles, you have to include the students that take neither.
