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.

Find the area of the following shape. You must show all work to receive credit.
Artist 52 [7]

By comparing the given shape with easier ones like triangles and rectangles we will see that the area of the shape is 8 square units.

<h3>How to simplify the shape.</h3>

So the given shape is a little bit complex, but you can actually see that it is a triangle with a base of 8 units with a height of 4 units, where a rectangle of 2 in by 3 in was removed, and also removed a triangle of height of 2 inches and base of 2 inches.

Remember that:

  • A triangle of height H and base B has an area = B*H/2
  • A rectangle of length L and width W has an area = L*W.

Then the area of the given shape is:

A = 8*4/2 - 3*2 - 2*2/2

A =  16 - 6 - 2

A = 8

So the given shape has an area of 8 square units.
