Two students taking a multiple choice exam with 20 questions and four choices for each question have the same incorrect answer o

n eight of the problems. The probability that student B guesses the same incorrect answer as student A on a particular question is 1/4. If the student is guessing, it is reasonable to assume guesses for different problems are independent. The instructor for the class suspects the students exchanged answers. The teacher decides to present a statistical argument to substantiate the accusation. A possible model for the number of incorrect questions that agree is:

Answer:

The Possible model is binomial distribution model.

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument that both students cheated in the exam can be proved by a hypothesis that both the students got the same answers incorrectly.

The same incorrect answers prove that both students have cheated on the test.

Therefore the sample of incorrect answers is, n = 8

Thus, the success probability, P = 0.25

Since the given condition has only two outcomes that are choosing the same answer or not choosing the same answer. Thus, this can be solved by the binomial distribution model.

So, binomial distribution with n = 8 and p = 0 .25.

The measure of angle M is_degrees.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

m=37

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles are complementary, or add to 90 degrees. Wee know this because of the little square in the corner that indicates a right angle, which is equal to 90 degrees.

m+53=90

Solve for m by getting m by itself. To do this, subtract 53 from both sides to "reverse" the addition being done to m.

m+53-53=90-53

The 53s on the left cancel, and we are left with:

m=37
