Answer and explanation:

Given : A driving exam consists of 29 ​multiple-choice questions. Each of the 29 answers is either right or wrong. Suppose the probability that a student makes fewer than 6 mistakes on the exam is 0.26 and that the probability that a student makes from 6 to 20 ​(inclusive) mistakes is 0.53.

Let X be the number of mistake

P(X

P(6\leq X\leq 20)=0.53

To find : The probability of each of the following outcomes.

a) A student makes more than 20 mistakes

i.e. P(X>20)

P(X>20)=1-P(X\leq 20)

P(X>20)=1-(P(X\leq 5)+P(6\leq X\leq 20))

P(X>20)=1-(0.26+0.53)

P(X>20)=1-(0.79)

P(X>20)=0.21

b. A student makes 6 or more mistakes

i.e. P(X\geq 6)=1-P(X

P(X\geq 6)=1-0.26

P(X\geq 6)=0.74

c. A student makes at most 20 mistakes

i.e. P(X\leq 20)=1-P(X>20)

Using 'a' part  P(X>20)=0.21

P(X\leq 20)=1-0.21

P(X\leq 20)=0.79

d. Which two of these three events are​ complementary?

The complement of an event happening is the exact opposite: the probability of it not happening.

According to definition,

Option a and c are complementary events.

Answer:

(a) P(X > 20) = 0.18

(b) P(X\geq 6) = 0.71

(c) P(X\leq 20) = 0.82

(d) Events (a) and (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question:

Total no. of multiple choice questions = 29

Now,

Let the no. of mistakes that a student make be X.

Then

P(X < 6) = P(X \leq 5 = 0.29

P(6\leq X\leq 20) = 0.53

Now,

(a) When a student makes more than 20 mistakes:

P(X > 20) = 1 - P(X\leq 20)

P(X > 20) = 1 - {P(X\leq 5) + P(6\leq X\leq 20)}

P(X > 20) = 1 - {0.29 + 0.53) = 0.18

(b) When the student makes 6 mistakes or more:

P(X\geq 6 = 1 - P(X\leq 5) = 1 - 0.29 = 0.71

(c) When the student makes at most 20 mistakes:

P(X\leq 20) = 1 - P(X > 20) = 1 - 0.18 = 0.82

(d) The two complementary events are (a) and (c), i.e., the event when a student more than 20 mistakes and when at most 20 mistakes are made by the student.

Answer:

<em><u>ok the area of a trapezoid is 48 </u></em>

a+b divided by two multiplied by height  

Step-by-step explanation:

each square equals 2 so you count by twos instead of ones..

the height is 8   the base is 8 and the top is 4 so

4+8/2=6

pleaseee help context is down below $3 is the entrance fee while $.50 is for each game played that's enough evidence to solve C(
BabaBlast [244]
C= Cost
g= # of times games played

C = 0.50g + 3

C(0) = 0.50(0) + 3
C(0) = 0 + 3
C(0) = 3

This means that no games have been played yet and the entrance fee is $3
