{-2x-5y=13

{2x-5y=17 (+)

-2x+2x-5y-5y=13+17

-10y=30 /:(-10)

y=-3

2x-5y=17

2x-5*(-3)=17

2x+15=17

2x=2

x=1

Solution: (1; -3)

Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering

Alla [95]

Answer:

a) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To approximate this distribution we have to calculate the mean and the standard distribution.

The mean is the proportion p=0.85.

The standard deviation can be calculates as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{100} }=0.04$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 100-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.04} =-1.75$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) In this case, the number of questions is 250, so the standard deviation needs to be calculated again:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{250} }=0.02$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 250-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.02} =-3.5$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Which shows the following expression after the negative exponents have been eliminated? xy^-6/x^-4 y^2, x=/0 y=/0

Tom [10]

For this case we have the following expression:
(xy ^ -6) / (x ^ -4y ^ 2)
By power properties we can rewrite the expression as:
(x * x ^ 4) / (y ^ 6 * y ^ 2)
Then, for power properties:
Same exponents are added:
(x ^ (4 + 1)) / (y ^ (6 + 2))
(x ^ 5) / (y ^ 8)
Answer:
An expression after the negative exponents have been eliminated is:
(x ^ 5) / (y ^ 8)
