Liz Williams claims to have psychic abilities and predict the future. Anderson Cooper, a CNN personality plans to test her in hi

s famous program called Anderson Coopers 360. The process will entail asking Liz Williams a series of 20 independent questions with yes/no answers. The questions would be of the nature that she could not have any way of knowing the answer from prior knowledge.
Suppose that Liz Williams correctly answered 15 of the 20 questions, which of the following would be a viable conclusion to reach?

a. Because the probability of guessing 15 or more correctly is 0.0207, it is unlikely that she is guessing at the questions and may, in fact, have some special ability.
b. Because the probability of being 15 or more correct is 0.0207, it is likely that she is just guessing at the questions.
c. Because the probability of guessing exactly 15 correct is 0.0148, she must be guessing.
d. If she was guessing, 15 is within one standard deviation of the mean and therefore the must not have any special psychic abilities.

Answer:

b. Because the probability of being 15 or more correct is 0.0207, it is likely that she is just guessing at the questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a binomial probability distribution with p=0.5, n=20 and x=15.

The function is expressed as:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We calculate the probability of guessing 15 or more correctly:

P(X\geq 15)=1-P(X

The probability of passing, guessing 15+ correctly, is 0.0207. This probability is very low and it is  it is likely that she is just guessing at the questions

Which pair of expressions is equivalent using the Associative Property of Multiplication?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the associative property of multiplication, the product of the multiplication of 3 or more numbers is the same irrespective of how they are grouped. This means that irrespective of the bracket or which number comes first, the product will always be the same.

From the given scenarios, the pair of expressions that are equivalent using the Associative Property of Multiplication are

B 6(4a ⋅ 2) = (4a ⋅ 2) ⋅ 6

C 6(4a ⋅ 2) = 6 ⋅ 4a ⋅ 2

D6(4a ⋅ 2) = (6 ⋅ 4a) ⋅ 2

The results are the same irrespective of the arrangement of the numbers.

Jim washes 2/3 of his car with 1/2 a bottle of soap. What fraction of the soap will he use to clean his entire car?​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

if he uses 1/2 for 2/3, then you can divide 2/3 and 1.2 by 2 to get the remaining soap needed to complete the wash

so to clean the last 1/3 of the car, he`ll use 1/4 of the remaining soap

the entire car needs <u><em>3/4 of a bottle of soap</em></u>

In a test (+5) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer. Radhika answered al
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

10 incorrect answers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can say that 5 marks for the number of correct answers minus two marks for the number of incorrect answers is equal to 30 that is the score that Radhika got:

(5*10)-2x= 30, where x is the number of incorrect answers.

Now, you can solve for x:

50-2x=30

50-30=2x

20=2x

x=20/2

x=10

According to this, the answer is that they attempted 10 incorrect answers.

Alenkinab [10]

\text {Hello! Let's Solve this Equation!}

\text {\underline {The First Step is to Subtract 3p}}

\text {24p-66-3p=3p+43-3p}

\text {Your New Problem Is: 21p-66=43}

\text {\underline {The Next Step Is to Add 66}}

\text {21p-66+66=43+66}

\text {Your New Problem Is: 21p=109}

\text {\underline {The Final Step is to Divide 21}}

\text {21p/21=109/21}

\text {Your Answer Would Be:}

\fbox {p=109/21}
