Multiple-choice questions have a special grading rule determined by your instructor. Assume that your instructor has decided to

grade these questions in the following way: If you submit an incorrect answer to a multiple-choice question with nnn options, you will lose 1/(n−1)1/(n−1) of the credit for that question. Just like the similar multiple-choice penalty on most standardized tests, this rule is necessary to prevent random guessing.If a multiple-choice question has five answer choices and you submit one wrong answer before getting the question correct, how much credit will you lose for that part of the question?
a. 100%
b. 50%
c. 33%
d. 25%
e. 20%

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

On submission of an incorrect answer to a multiple-choice question with n options,  we will lose:

=\frac{ 1}{(n-1)} of credit

If we multiple-choice question has five answer choices. And we have submitted 1 wrong answer. the fraction of credit we loose :

=\frac{ 1}{(5-1)} of credit

=\frac{1}{4} of credit

=0.25 credit

The percentage of credit we loose:

=0.25\times 100 of credits

=25\% of credits

At 3pm a dry-bulb thermometer reading is 66F the wet-bulb reading is 66F what is the relative humidity explain? Plzzzz help <
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

100 %

Explanation:

<em>Relative humidity</em> (RH) is the amount of water vapour in the air compared to the maximum amount it can hold, expressed as a percentage.

RH is measured by a device that has wet- and dry-bulb thermometers.

If the air is unsaturated, water will evaporate from the wet bulb and cool it. The wet-bulb temperature will be less than that of the dry bulb.

If the wet-bulb temperature is the same as the dry-bulb temperature, it means that water cannot evaporate from the wet bulb.

The atmosphere already holds as much water as it possibly can, so the relative humidity is 100 %.

Most atoms follow the octet rule meaning they need ------ electrons to fill their valence shells. One important exception is H w
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The octet rule means that atoms need a total of 8 valence electrons to fill their valence shell. Hydrogen only needs two to fill its valence shell.

Explanation:

All atoms except for hydrogen can hold a total of 8 valence electrons in their outer energy levels (2 in the s level, 6 in the p level). Hydrogen only has two electrons total, so it does not require more than the s level and two electrons to have a full valence.

A mineral sample scratches fingernails, pennies, and glass but does not scratch steel as shown below. what is the hardness of th
Elodia [21]
Friedrich Mohs devised a scale that tested mineral <span>hardness, </span>which means the resistance of a mineral to being scratched. This scale (from 1 to 10) is known as the Mohs Hardness Test. Objects are used as tools to perform the hardness test:
<span>fingernail (hardness = 2,5).
copper penny (hardness = 3)
glass plate or steel knife (hardness = 5,5)
<span>steel file (hardness = 6,5).
According to this scale </span></span><span>hardness of the mineral is between 5,5 and 6,5.</span>
