To answer this
problem, we use the binomial distribution formula for probability:
P (x) = [n!
/ (n-x)! x!] p^x q^(n-x)
Where,
n = the
total number of test questions = 10
<span>x = the
total number of test questions to pass = >6</span>
p =
probability of success = 0.5
q =
probability of failure = 0.5
Given the
formula, let us calculate for the probabilities that the student will get at
least 6 correct questions by guessing.
P (6) = [10!
/ (4)! 6!] (0.5)^6 0.5^(4) = 0.205078
P (7) = [10!
/ (3)! 7!] (0.5)^7 0.5^(3) = 0.117188
P (8) = [10!
/ (2)! 8!] (0.5)^8 0.5^(2) = 0.043945
P (9) = [10!
/ (1)! 9!] (0.5)^9 0.5^(1) = 0.009766
P (10) = [10!
/ (0)! 10!] (0.5)^10 0.5^(0) = 0.000977
Total
Probability = 0.376953 = 0.38 = 38%
<span>There is a
38% chance the student will pass.</span>
A is 4.5 b is 3.2 c is 4.05 d 3.6
Answer:
answer choice D
Step-by-step explanation:
x => 6 - 4x > 18
= 6-18 > 4x
= - 12 > 4x
= -3 > x
= x < -3
Given that <span>In a canoe race, team a is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of team b.
Team b is also traveling 6 miles per hour. The teams continue
traveling at their current rates for the remainder of the race.
The system of
linear equations that represents this situation is given by
d = 6t + 2
d = 6t

Answer:
(a) yes
(b) no; see below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Integer roots of the quartic will be integer divisors of 6. One of the divisors of 6 is 3, so 3 is a possible root.
(b) In order for 3 to be a double root, it would have to be a double factor of 6. The only integer factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. (3² = 9 is not one.)
___
The quartic can be written as ...
k(x -a)(x -b)(x -c)(x -d) . . . . . where a, b, c, d, k are integers
The constant term will be kabcd, of which each of the roots is a factor. If the constant is 6 and one root is d=3, then we must have
kabcd = 3kabc = 6
kabc = 6/3 = 2
Among these four integer factors, there must be an even number of minus signs, and one that has the value ±2. Another root whose value is 3 will not satisfy the requirements.
