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

The mass of Earth is 5.97 X 10²⁴ kilograms. The mass of the Moon is 7.34 x 10²² kilograms. What is the combined mass of earth.
Damm [24]

Answer:

13.31 x 10^{46}

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if we take the two equations, and add the normal numbers together, we have: 5.97 + 7.34 = 13.31

Then if we add the two tens together it would be: 10^2^2 + 10^{24 = 10 to the power of 46.

The equation would be 13.31 x 10^{46}

I'm not an expert, so sorry if this is wrong.
