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

Please help me with this

Answer:

Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations are given to us. And we need to solve them . The given system is

\begin{cases} y = 2x - 3\dots 1 \\ y = x^2 - 3\dots 2 \end{cases}

We numbered the equations here . Now put the value of equation 1 in equation 2 that is substituting y = 2x - 3 in eq. 2 .

\implies y = x^2 - 3 \\\\\implies 2x - 3 = x^2 - 3 \\\\\implies x^2 - 2x = 0 \\\\\implies x(x-2) = 0 \\\\\implies\red{ x = 0 , 2 }

We got two values of x as 0 & 2 . Alternatively substituting these values we have ,

\implies y = 2 x - 3 \\\\\implies y = 2(0)-3 \qquad or \qquad y = 2(2)-3 \\\\\implies y = 0-3 \qquad or \qquad 4 - 3 \\\\\implies \red{ y = -3 , 1 }

Thefore the required answer is ,

\red{Option\:c} \begin{cases} (0,-3) \\ (2,1) \end{cases}

Can u help me with these , I’m very stressed and it must be turned in by tomorrow
Schach [20]
For 24 keep the orders of operation in mind. So first we'd work out what's in parentheses, so we'd start by doing 5-3, which is 2. We'd then add 2+2 to get 4. Then we multiply 16 and 4 to get 64. So the correct answer is 64.

For the second part of 24 we first multiply 3 and 4 to get 9. We would then subtract 17-9 to get 8. Finally, we'd add 8+2 to get 10. So the correct answer is 10.

As for 25, the answer is 6400 centimeters^3.
