Number of questions = 10
Probability of getting correct = 0.5 (because it is a true - false answer)
40% of 10 question = 4 questions

Find P( ≥ 4 questions correct ):

\text {Probability of getting 4 correct = }\left(\begin{array}{c}10\\4\end{array}\right) \bigg(  \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg)^{10} =  \dfrac{210}{1024}

\text {Probability of getting 5 correct = }\left(\begin{array}{c}10\\5\end{array}\right) \bigg(  \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg)^{10} =  \dfrac{252}{1024}

\text {Probability of getting 6 correct = }\left(\begin{array}{c}10\\6\end{array}\right) \bigg(  \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg)^{10} =  \dfrac{210}{1024}

\text {Probability of getting 7 correct = }\left(\begin{array}{c}10\\7\end{array}\right) \bigg(  \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg)^{10} =  \dfrac{120}{1024}

\text {Probability of getting 8 correct = }\left(\begin{array}{c}10\\8\end{array}\right) \bigg(  \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg)^{10} =  \dfrac{45}{1024}

\text {Probability of getting 9 correct = }\left(\begin{array}{c}10\\9\end{array}\right) \bigg(  \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg)^{10} =  \dfrac{10}{1024}

\text {Probability of getting 10 correct = }\left(\begin{array} {c}10\\10\end{array}\right) \bigg(  \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg)^{10} =  \dfrac{1}{1024}

P(≥ 4 questions correct):

\dfrac{210}{1024} + \dfrac{252}{1024} + \dfrac{210}{1024} + \dfrac{120}{1024} + \dfrac{45}{1024} + \dfrac{10}{1024} + \dfrac{1}{1024} = \dfrac{848}{1024} = 0.828 (3 d.p.)

Answer:P(≥ 40%) =  0.828

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i believe this is multiplication so. just multiply 12 3/4 x 2/5. The answer to that would be 12 6/20. Now let's simplify. you can divide this fraction to the fraction 2/2. 12 6/20 divided by 2/2 equals to 12 3/4. I hope this right, and I really hope you get an A on your test.

If it's division than here's the steps. KCFM (keep, change, flip, multiply) keep 12 3/4, change the division symbol to multiplication, and flip the fraction 2/5 to 5/2. last step multiply. 12 15/8. If you can simplify that then simplify it. I don't see anyone to simplify it so your okay.

10. The formula for the circumference of a circle with diameter d is C = d.
Fudgin [204]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a.  d = C/π

  b.  d = 8/π inches ≈ 2.546 inches

  c.  r = 61/(2π) inches ≈ 9.708 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The formula for circumference is ...

  C = πd

Dividing by π gives ...

  d = C/π

__

b. For a circumference of 8 inches, the diameter is ...

  d = (8 in)/π = (8/π) in ≈ 2.546 in

__

c. The radius is 1/2 the diameter. So, the radius of a circle is ...

  r = d/2 = (C/π)/2 = C/(2π)

For a circumference of 61 inches, the radius is ...

  r = (61 in)/(2π) = 61/(2π) in ≈ 9.708 in
