Philip ran out of time while taking a multiple-choice test and plans to guess on the last 4 questions. Each question has 5 possi

ble choices, one of which is correct. Let X=, equals the number of answers Philip correctly guesses in the last 4 questions. Assume that the results of his guesses are independent. What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions? You may round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

There is a 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is correct, or it is not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which  is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

There are four questions, so n = 4.

Each question has 5 options, one of which is correct. So

What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions?

This is

There is a 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

My guess...

Answer:

w = 6.7451

x = 8.0805

Step-by-step explanation:

Find W

Tan(56) = opposite / adjacent

opposite = 10

Adjacent = w

Tan (56) = 10/w

w*Tan(56) = 10

w = 10 / tan(56)

w = 10/ 1.4826

w = 6.7451

Find x

Tan (34) = 10 / (w + x)

Tan (34) = 0.6745

(w + x) * Tan(34) = 10

w + x = 10 / tan(34)

w+ x = 10 / 0.6745

w + x = 14.826

But we found w = 6.7451

6.7451 + x = 14.826

x = 14l826 - 6.7451

x = 8.0805

ki77a [65]

Answer:

  • draw lines center to vertex
  • 43.5 square inches
  • 261 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>:

The area can be decomposed into triangles by drawing a line from the center to each vertex of the hexagon.

__

<u>Part B</u>:

The area of each triangle is given by the triangle area formula:

  A = (1/2)bh

  A = (1/2)(10 in)(8.7 in) = 43.5 in²

__

<u>Part C</u>:

The area of the table top is 6 times the area of one triangle:

  surface area = 6(43.5 in²) = 261 in²

A bird catches a fish, flies 100 yards upward in a straight line, and then drops the fish. The fish lands at a spot that is 50 y
Marina CMI [18]
You can solve this using trigonometric functions.

The angle between the fish and the ground is
tan θ = 100 / 50
θ = tan-1 (2)
θ = 63.43°

The height of the bird before it dropped the fish is already given, which is 100 yards.
