Answer:

The probability that he answered neither of the problems correctly ​is 0.0625.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a student ran out of time on a multiple-choice exam and randomly guess the answers for two problems each problem have four answer choices ABCD and only one correct answer.

Let X = <u><em>Number of problems correctly ​answered by a student</em></u>.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r}\times p^{r}\times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,....    

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 2 problems

           r = number of success = neither of the problems are correct

           p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

                 a student answer correctly, i.e; p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.75.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 2, p = 0.75)

Now, the probability that he answered neither of the problems correctly ​is given by = P(X = 0)

             P(X = 0) = \binom{2}{0}\times 0.75^{0}\times (1-0.75)^{2-0}

                            = 1 \times 1\times 0.25^{2}

                            = <u>0.0625</u>

forsale [732]

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x as -19 and solve for y.

2(-19) - 5y = -28

Multiply.

-38 - 5y = -28

Add 38 on both sides of the equation.

-5y = -28 + 38

-5y = 10

Divide both sides by -5.

y = 10/-5

y = -2

A rectangle box with a square base and no top needs to be made using 300ft^2 of material. Find the dimensions of the box with th
Yuri [45]

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle box with

  • A square base and no top
  • It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material
  • It has greatest volume

Surface area of a box without top (SA) = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

Volume of a box (V) = base area × height

Assume that the length of the side of the square base is x and the height of the box is y

∵ It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material

∴ The surface area of the box is 300 ft²

∵ Its base is a square of side length x ft

∴ Perimeter of the base = 4 × x = 4 x

∴ Area of the base = x²

∵ The height of the box = y ft

∵ SA = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

∵ SA = (4x)(y) + x²

∴ SA = 4xy + x²

∵ SA of the box = 300 ft²

- Equate the two expressions of SA

∴ 4xy + x² = 300

Now let us find y in terms of x

- Subtract x² from both sides

∴ 4xy = 300 - x²

- Divide each term by 4x to find y

∴ y=\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x

∵ V = area of the base × height

∴ V = x² × y = x²y

- Substitute y by the equation of it above

∴ V=x^{2}(\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x)

∴ V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}

∵ The volume of the box is greatest

- That means differentiate V and equate it by 0

∵ \frac{dV}{dx}=75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}

∵ \frac{dV}{dx}=0 ⇒ greatest volume

∴ 75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=0

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ -\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=-75

- Divide both sides by -\frac{3}{4}

∴ x² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = 10

Substitute the value of x in the equation of y

∵ y=\frac{75}{10}-\frac{1}{4}(10)

∴ y = 5

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

∵ V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}

∵ x = 10

∴ V=75(10)-\frac{1}{4}(10)^{3}

∴ V=750-\frac{1}{4}(1000)

∴ V = 750 - 250

∴ V = 500 ft³

The maximum volume is 500 ft³
