A multiple choice test is composed of 10 questions. Each question has four possible answers, only one of the four possible answe

rs is correct. A student randomly selects the answer for each question. Assume that all selections are independent. Let X count the student's number of correct answers on the test. a) What is the expected number of correct answers? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. b) What is the standard deviation of the number of correct answers? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. c) What values of the random variable are within two standard deviations of the mean? d) What is the probability that the student answers exactly 4 questions correctly? Round your answer to the nearest ten- thousandth. e) If at least 6 questions must be answered correctly to pass the test, what is the probability that the student passes the test? Round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth.

Answer:

a)2.5

b) 1.37

c) -0.24, 5.24

d) 0.1460

e) 0.0420

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

n = 10

P = 1/4 = 0.25

a) expected number of answers

= n * p

= 10 * 0.25 = 2.5

b) standard deviation

= \sqrt{np(1-p)}

= \sqrt{10*0.25*(1-0.25)}

= 1.37

c)• u-26 = 2.5 - 2(1.37)

= 2.5 - 2.75

= -0.24

• u+26= 2.5 + 2(1.37)

= 5.24

d) Pobability that the student answers exactly 4 questions correctly

= P(x=4) = [10, 4] (0.25)^4 (0.75)^6

= 0.1460

e) P(x≥6)=P(x=6)+P(x=7)+P(x=8)+P(x=9)+P(x=10)

= [10 ,6] (0.25)^6(0.75)^4+ [10, 7](0.25)^7(0.75)^3 + [10, 8](0.24)^8(0.75)^2 + [10, 9] (0.25)^9(0.75)^2 + [10, 10] (0.25)^10(0.75)^0

= 0.03845+0.00309+0.00039+0.0000286+0.000000954

= 0.0420

(Part (e) is also attached for easier understanding)

Answer:

B) no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved by substitution method

y= ⅔x + 4. (equation 1)

and 2x-3y= 3. (equation 2)

substitute for y into equation 2

2x-3(2/3x + 4) = 3

2x - 2x -12=3

0=15

this is a no solution equation

Which exponent is missing from this equation<br> 5.6=56,000
Neko [114]

Answer:

The missing exponent is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

5.6 \times  {10}^{n}  = 56000

Then we rewrite the LHS in scientific notation to get;

5.6 \times  {10}^{n}  = 5.6 \times  {10}^{4}

This implies that,

{10}^{n}  =  {10}^{4}

By comparison, we find n=4.

Therefore the missing exponent is 4

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

θ = \frac{\pi }{3} (60° )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ sin²x = 1 - cos²x

Given

cos²θ - sin²θ = 2 - 5cosθ

cos²θ - (1 - cos²θ) = 2 - 5cosθ

cos²θ - 1 + cos²θ = 2 - 5cosθ

2cos²θ - 1 = 2 - 5cosθ ( subtract 2 - 5cosθ from both sides )

2cos²θ + 5cosθ - 3 = 0 ← in standard form

(cosθ + 3)(2cosθ - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for θ

cosθ + 3 = 0

cosθ = - 3 ← not possible as - 1 ≤ cosθ  ≤ 1

2cosθ - 1 = 0

cosθ = \frac{1}{2} , so

θ = cos^{-1} (\frac{1}{2} ) = \frac{\pi }{3} ( or 60° )
