Answer: Second graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 questions, and each question has 4 options.

Then, the probability to having one question correct by selecting an option at random is 1/3 = 0.25.

Now, the probability of answering incorrectly the question is 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

Now let's analyze the options:

Having the 3 questions wrong.

Here we have 3 times the probability of 0.75, then the joint probability is:

P = 0.75*0.75*0.75 = 0.42

Whit this we can discard the third graph, now let's calculate the probability of having one answer correct.

The probabilities are two times 0.75 and one times 0.25, but in this case, we have 3 possible combinations ( the correct one is the first, the correct one is the second, the correct one is the third) so we need to also add a factor of 3.

P = 0.75*0.75*0.25*3 = 0.42

Whit only these two calculations we can see that the correct graph is the second graph.  

We could also calculate the probabilities of having 2 correct answers (again, here we have 3 permutations, this time for the incorrect answer):

P = 0.25*0.25*0.75*3 = 0.14

The probability of having 3 correct answers is:

P = 0.25*0.25*0.25 = 0.02

Answer:

sin(2x)/cos x = 2sin x*cos x/ cos x = 2 sin x = 2

sin x = 1

x = pi/2

but cos pi/2 = 0

so the given equation is indeterminate for x = pi/2

Answer:

The volume is 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation: To find the volume of the rectangular prism you need to multiply 8x20. The reason is because there are 20 cubes in each row (i'm sorry if i'm not good at explaining math very well). The way I found the volume was to count the amount of cubes on the side and multiply it by how many rows there were on top. So that brings me to 160. The product of 8x20. (I hope this helps, math isn't my best subject)
