Answer:

The probability that the student is going to pass the test is 0.0545

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable that says the number of correct questions follows a Binomial distribution, because there are n identical and independent events with a probability p of success and a probability 1-p of fail. So, the probability of get x questions correct is:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} *p^{x} *(1-p)^{n-x}

Where n is equal to 10 questions and p is the probability of get a correct answers, so p is equal to 1/2

Then, if the student pass the test with at least 8 questions correct, the probability P of that is:

P = P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

P=(\frac{10!}{8!(10-8)!}*0.5^{8}*(0.5)^{10-8})+(\frac{10!}{9!(10-9)!} *0.5^{9} *(0.5)^{10-9})+(\frac{10!}{10!(10-10)!} *0.5^{10} *(0.5)^{10-10})

P = 0.0439 + 0.0097 + 0.0009

P = 0.0545

Question 3 (4 MARKS) Find the equation of the tangents to the curve of the function with rule y = x^2 at the points where x = a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

(0 , -a²)

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent at x = a and x = -a

y = x²     (a , a²) and (-a , a²) must be on the curve and tangent to curve

gradient dy/dx = 2x

slope (m) at x = a is <u>2a</u>     and slope (m') at x=-a is<u> -2a</u>

line1: (y - a²) / (x - a) = 2a

        y - a² = 2a (x - a)                           y = 2ax - a²   ... (1)

line2: (y - a²) / (x + a) = - 2a                   y = -2ax- a²   ... (2)

(1) - (2): 4ax = 0       a≠0    x = 0

y = - a²

I wish I did it right, or ....
