A student takes a multiple choice test. Each question has N answers. If the student knows the answer to a question, the student

gives the right answer, and otherwise guesses uniformly and at random. The student knows the answer to 70% of the questions. Write K for the event a student knows the answer to a question and R for the event the student answers the question correctly. (a) What is P(K)? (b) What is P(RIK)? (c) What is P(KR), as a function of N? (d) What values of N will ensure that P(K|R) >99%?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P(K) = 0.7

b) P(R|K) = 1

c) P(K|R) = P(KnR) /P(R)

= P(K) x P(R|K) / ( P(K) x P(R|K) + P(K') P(R|K')

= 0.7 x 1 / ( 0.7 x 1 + (1-0.7) x 1/N)

= 0.7/(0.7 + 0.3/N)

d) P(K|R) > 0.99

0.7/(0.7 + 0.3/N) > 0.99

N > 42.86

N = 43 will be the value of N that will ensure that P(K|R) >99%

-3y+10=-14 Explain How To Solve The Answer.
Sonja [21]
You want to isolate the variable 'y'.

\sf -3y+10=-14

Subtract 10 to both sides:

\sf -3y=-24

Divide -3 to both sides:

\sf y=\boxed{\sf 8}

Many people think that a national lobby's successful fight against gun control legislation is reflecting the will of a minority
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

At least 653 citizens need to be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following formula is used to compute the minimum sample size required to estimate the true proportion who are in favor of gun control legislation  within 5% margin of error:

n≥ p×(1-p) × (\frac{z}{ME} )^2 where

  • n is the sample size
  • p is the sample proportion of people who are in favor of gun control legislation (\frac{2250}{4000}=0.5625
  • z is the corresponding z-score for 99% confidence level (2.575)
  • ME is the margin of error in the estimation (5% or 0.05)

Putting numbers in the formula

n≥ 0.5625×0.4375 × (\frac{2.58}{0.05} )^2 ≈652.7

n needs to be<em> at least 653</em> to provide this equation.
