The first one is ten times the second one.
Since we already know that there is a 25% chance to guess the correct answer to a multiple choice question, all we have to do is multiply .25 and 68 to get the expected amount of answers a student can possibly guess. We multiply .25 since it is the decimal form of 25% and 68 is our total questions.
.25 x 68 = 17
Therefore, a student can expect to guess 17 answers correct on a test with 68 multiple choice questions.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the height of the box and y be the length of one side of the base then:-
V = xy^2 = 108
x = 108/y^2
Surface area = y^2 + 4xy
S = y^2 + 4y* 108/y^2
S = y^2 + 432/y
Finding the derivative:-
dS/dy = 2y - 432/y^2 = 0
2y^3 = 432
y^3 = 216
y = 6
Check if this gives a minimum value:-
second derivative = 2 + 864/y^3 which is positive so minimum.
V = xy^2 = 108
36y = 108
y = 3
Answer :- dimensions of the box is 3*6*6 metres
