Complete question is;
Multiple-choice questions each have 5 possible answers, one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to 5 such questions.
Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first four guesses are wrong and the fifth is correct. That is, find P(WWWWC), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer.
P(WWWWC) =
Answer:
P(WWWWC) = 0.0819
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that each question has 5 possible answers and only 1 is correct. Thus, the probability of getting the right answer in any question is =
(number of correct choices)/(total number of choices) = 1/5
Meanwhile,since only 1 of the possible answers is correct, then there will be 4 incorrect answers. Thus, the probability of choosing the wrong answer would be;
(number of incorrect choices)/(total number of choices) = 4/5
Now, we want to find the probability of getting the 1st 4 guesses wrong and the 5th one correct. To do this we will simply multiply the probabilities of each individual event by each other.
Thus;
P(WWWWC) = (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (1/5) = 256/3125 ≈ 0.0819
P(WWWWC) = 0.0819

I know this because 2,000 • 2 = 4,000
Answer:
1.
-3x + 8y = -5
6x + 2y = -8
Set the equations to a common variable.
-3x + 8y = -5 → 8y = 3x - 5 → y = 3/8x - 5/8
6x + 2y = -8 → 2y = -6x - 8 → y = -3x - 4
Set the equations equal to each other.
3/8x - 5/8 = -3x - 4
Combine like terms.
3x + 3/8x = -4 + 5/8
3.375x = -3.375
Divide by 3.375
x = -1
Plug x back in to find y.
-3x + 8y = -5
-3(-1) + 8y = -5
3 + 8y = -5
8y = -8
y = -1
answer: (-1, -1)
2.
3x + 2y = -16
-3x - 8y = 46
Set the equations to a common variable.
3x + 2y = -16 → 2y = -3x - 16 → y = -3/2x - 8
-3x - 8y = 46 → -8y = 3x + 46 → y = -3/8x - 23/4
Set the equations equal to each other.
-3/2x - 8 = -3/8x - 23/4
Combine like terms.
-9/8x = 9/4
or
-1.125x = 2.25
Divide by -1.125
x = -2
Plug x back in to find y.
3(-2) + 2y = -16
-6 + 2y = -16
2y = -10
y = -5
answer: (-2, -5)
Maybe the answer would be 12/5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can even break this down further by simply only looking at the total amount of males, and finding the proportion of males that are divorced, which is 
, the same value.
Note that P(Male | Divorced) means the probability of choosing a male, given (|) that person is divorced.
