On a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are i

ncorrect. If a student guesses randomly, find the probability of (a) being correct on three questions, (b) being correct on four questions, (c) being correct on all six questions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that on a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are incorrect

By mere guessing probability for choosing correct answer = p = 0.2

also each question is independent of the other

Hence if X is the number of correct questions then

X is binomial with p = 0.2 and n = 6

a) being correct on three questions,

=P(X=3) = 0.08192

(b) being correct on four questions,

= P(X=4) = 0.01536

(c) being correct on all six questions

=P(x=6) = 0.000064

What is the name of the segment inside the large triangle? (had to ask again because i forgot the answer choices with my choice)
Greeley [361]
The answer is Angle Bisector.
I think this because if it were to be perpendicular the triangle would have to be congruent in SSS theorem or other.
I hope this helps!

Inquiries arrive at a record message device according to a Poisson process of rate 15 inquiries per minute. The probability that
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

0.0498 = 4.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given time interval.

Inquiries arrive at a record message device according to a Poisson process of rate 15 inquiries per minute.

Each minute has 60 seconds.

So a rate of 1 inquire each 4 seconds.

The probability that it takes more than 12 seconds for the first inquiry to arrive is approximately

Mean of 1 inquire each 4 seconds, so for 12 seconds \mu = \frac{12}{4} = 3

This probability is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498
