Richard has been given an 11-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has five answers, of which only o

ne is correct. Since Richard has not attended the class recently, he doesn't know any of the answers. Assuming that Richard guesses on all 11 questions, find the probability that he will answer at least 4 questions correctly. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. a. 0.111 b. 0.161 c. 0.364 d. 0.073 e. 0.5

Answer:

Option b) 0.161                                                          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat correct as a success.

P(Correct Answer) = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

Then the number of questions follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 11

We have to evaluate:

P(answer at least 4 questions correctly)

P(x \geq 4)\\=1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) - P(x = 2) - P(x = 3)\\=1 - \binom{11}{0}(0.2)^0(1-0.2)^{11} - ... - \binom{11}{3}(0.2)^3(1-0.2)^{8}\\=1 -0.085 -0.237-0.296 - 0.221\\= 0.161

Thus, 0.161 is the probability that Richard will answer at least 4 questions correctly.

Option b) 0.161

Aleonysh [2.5K]

In this question, it is given that An inverse trigonometric function is used to find the value of an unknown obtuse angle in a triangle. The inverse function returns the angle 68°.

Since the angle is obtuse angle, it means  the measurement of the angle is greater then 90 degree. And to find the angle measurement, we have to subtract the given angle from 180 degree.

So the unknown angle is

180-68=112 degree

And that's the required answer .

harkovskaia [24]

- 67

substitute the given values for x and y into the expression and evaluate

= - 6(2)³ - (4)² - 3 = ( - 6 × 8 ) - 16 - 3 = - 48 - 16 - 3 = - 67

Tegan needs to make 686868 more snow blocks to finish building an igloo. Write an equation for the number of blocks Tegan still
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

We are given:

No: of blocks Tegan still needs to make = m.

No: of blocks Tegan has completed = c

Total No:of more snow blocks need to make = 68 .

Total number of more snow blocks need to make = Total number of blocks -  The number of blocks Tegan has completed.

m = 68 - c.

Therefore, the equation for the number of blocks Tegan still needs to make, m, when she has completed c blocks is

m = 68 - c.

For example.

Suppose if c = 10, it means Tegan still needs to make 68-10 = 58 block.
