Take from this what you can

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational function as any function which can be defined by a rational fraction I in algebraic fractions such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials

Functions as a form of the non rational function which is usually defined as a function that can be written as the quotient of 2 polynomials with integral coefficients

This is a rational function

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

b) There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

c) There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can have two outcomes. Either it is right, or it is wrong. So, for b) and c), 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.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

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

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Each question has 4 choices. So for each question, Robin has a $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ probability of getting ir right. So $\pi = 0.25$ . There are five questions, so $n = 5$ .

(a) What is the probability that the first question she gets right is the second question?

There is a 75% probability of getting the first question wrong and there is a 25% probability of getting the second question right. These probabilities are independent.

$P = 0.75(0.25) = 0.1875$

There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

(b) What is the probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right?

This is: $P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{4} = 0.3955$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{3} = 0.2637$

$P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.3955 + 0.2637 = 0.6592$

There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

(c) What is the probability that she gets the majority of the questions right?

That is the probability that she gets 3, 4 or 5 questions right.

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{2} = 0.0879$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{1} = 0.0146$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.001$

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0879 + 0.0146 + 0.001 = 0.1035$

There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Is the point (1,3) a solution to the linear equation 5x-9y=32? explain

harina [27]

There are many ways to check if the point (1,3) is a solution to the linear equation $5x-9y=32$ .

Let us check it by expressing y in terms of x.

The given expression is 5x-9y=32. If we add -5x to both sides we will get:

$-9y=-5x+32$

Multiplying both sides by -1 we will get:

$9y=5x-32$

In order to isolate y, we will divide both sides by 9 to get:

$y=\frac{5}{9}x-\frac{32}{9}$

Now let us plug in the given value of x=1 from the point (1,3). This should give us y=3. Let us see if we get y=3 when we plug x=1 in the above equation.

$y=\frac{5}{9}\times 1-\frac{32}{9}=\frac{5-32}{9}$

$\therefore y=\frac{-27}{9}=-3$

Thus, we see that when x=1, y=-3 and that $y\neq 3$ and hence we conclude that the point (1,3) is not a solution to the original given linear equation 5x-9y=32.

For a better understanding of the explanation given here a graph has been attached. As can be seen from the graph, (1,3) does not lie on the straight line that represents 5x-9y=32, but (1,-3) does lie on it as we had just found out.
