A multiple choice exam has 20 questions. Each question has 3 possible answers; there is no partial credit. Only 1 answer out of

the 3 possible answers is correct; no questions are dependent on getting the correct answer for a previous question. The passing score for the exam is 60% or better. If you randomly guess the answer to each question, what is the probability that you will pass the test? Round your answer to three decimal places and report as a DECIMAL - example: 0.234

Answer:To find out the theoretical probability of the case given, we need to make certain assumptions.

First, we'll assume that he'll attempt all of the questions, i.e he'll attempt all 10 questions.

Next assumption is that each option in each question is equally likely to be marked by the student.

This pretty much leads us to a binomial probability distribution.

Conditions are:

   Answers 10 questions.

   Each question has 4 options with only one correct answer and all other incorrect answers.

   Student is equally likely to pick any outcome in any given question.

   Hence, probability of choosing correct answer is 1/4 = 0.25. Probability of choosing incorrect answer is 1–1/4 = 3/4 = 0.75.

   The number of trials is 10.

   Total number of success is exactly 8 and failure is 2 amongst the 10 questions in any particular order.

Now, calculation is fairly simple.

Binomial probability distribution is such that…

P(8 correct ; 2 wrong)

= 10C8 × (0.25)^8 × (0.75)²

= 405/1048576 ≈ 3.862380981 × 10^-4 ≈ 0.000386

1. Renting a bicycle at a local Bike shop costs $30 for the first day and $10 for each additional day.
Elza [17]
<span>(a) Create a chart of values and write an equation to find the total cost, C in terms of the number of days d.

C = 10d + 20

</span><span>(b) Use the equation you created in Part (a) to find the cost of renting a bike for 5 days.
</span>
C = 10d + 20
<span>C = 10(5) + 20= 50 + 20 = 70

$70 for 5 days

A blue container weighs 4 x 103
NemiM [27]

Answer:

208

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find out what each container weighs..

Blue = 4 x 103 = 412

Red = 102 x 2 = 204

Now, Let subtract Blue container by Red Container..

412-204=208

Hence, the blue container weighs 208 more than the red container.
