Answer:

a. 4.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is only one correct answer out of four alternatives, the expected proportion of correct answers is p =0.25

Sample size (n) = 100 questions

The standard deviation of a proportion 'p' is given by:

s=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

Applying the given data:

s=\sqrt{\frac{0.25*(1-0.25)}{100}}\\s=0.0433

If X is the number of correct responses in 100 guesses, the standard deviation of X is:

\sigma = n*s=100*0.0433\\\sigma = 4.33

The standard deviation of X is 4.33 questions.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

(x + (3+5i))^2 = x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex numbers identity:

The complex numbers identity is:

i^2 = -1

Square of the sum:

(x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2

In this question:

(x + (3+5i))^2

x^2 + 2x(3+5i) + (3+5i)^2

x^2 + 6x + 10xi + 9 + 30i + 25i^2

x^2 + 6x + 9 + (10x+30)i - 25

x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16

So

(x + (3+5i))^2 = x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16

Not sure if the question is complete, but if the cell doubles every five minutes, you must first double the one, then simply square the answer every five minutes.
