Answer:

The probability that you get zero questions correct is 0.4096

The probability that you get one questions correct is 0.4096

The probability that you get three questions correct is 0.0256

Step-by-step explanation:

These probability can be describe with a Binomial Distribution. These distribution can be used when we have n identical and independent situations in which there is a probability p or probability of success and a probability q or probability of fail. Additionally q is equal to 1 - p. The probability of x for a situation in which we can apply binomial distribution is:

P( x,n,p) = n Cx * p^{x } * q^ {n-x}

Where x is the variable that says the number of success in the n situations

And nCx is calculate as:

nC x = \frac{ n!}{ x! (n-x)! }

From the question we can identify that:

  • n is equal to 4 multiple choice question
  • p is 1/5 or 0.2, the probability of get one question correct
  • q is 4/5 or 0.8, the probability of get one question incorrect

Then the probability of get zero questions correct of 4 questions is:

P( 0, 4, 0.2) = 4 C0 * p^{0 } * q^ {4-0}= 0.4096

The probability of get one question correct of 4 questions is:

P( 1, 4, 0.2) = 4 C1 * p^{1 } * q^ {4-1}= 0.4096

The probability of get three questions correct of 4 questions is:

P( 3, 4, 0.2) = 4 C3 * p^{3 } * q^ {4-3}= 0.0256

Pick the correct answer <br> Please help thanks :)
meriva

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First create the equation that has slope of -1 in the form of y=mx+b. Because the slope is -1, m=-1, so the equation is y=-x+b. Now we see that we are given the point (-3, 8) as an intersection point. Substitute x and y for -3 and 8 in our equation. With this information, our equation becomes 8=3+b. Solving, b=5. Our equation is now y=-x+5.

Simplifying all of the answer choices, we have

A. y=-x-5

B. y=-x+5

C. y=-x-5

D. and E. as what they already show

The only answer that matches is B.

Neko [114]

Answer:

It describes multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see its 5x-5 (the x is say "by" or "of), So when you look at it you can clearly see it's multiplication.
