Answer:

Probability = 0.190

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of questions, 'n' = 20

Each question has four choices.

Let event of choosing correct answer be success and its probability be represented by 'p'.

Therefore, event of choosing wrong answer is failure and its probability be represented by 'q'.

Now, probability of success is choosing one correct answer out of 4 options. So, p=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Now, 'p' and 'q' are complements of each other. Therefore,

q=1-p=1-0.25=0.75

Now, we need 4 successes. Therefore, x=4

Using Bernoulli's theorem to find 'x' successes from 'n' questions, we get:

P(x)=_{x}^{n}\textrm{C}p^xq^{n-x}

Plug in 4 for 'x', 20 for 'n', 0.25 for 'p' and 0.75 for 'q'. Solve.

P(4)=_{4}^{20}\textrm{C}(0.25)^4(0.75)^{20-4}\\P(4)=_{4}^{20}\textrm{C}(0.25)^4(0.75)^{16}\\P(4)=4845\times (0.25)^4\times (0.65)^{16}\\\\P(4)=0.1896\approx0.190

Therefore, the probability of getting 4 correct answers out of 20 questions is 0.190.

Which value of x would make ?<br><br> 1<br> 6<br> 8<br> 10
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

x=8\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If NO is parallel to KJ

then

Triangles LNO and LKJ are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

so

\frac{LO}{LJ}=\frac{LN}{LK}

substitute the values

\frac{x-4}{x-4+x}=\frac{x-3}{x-3+x+2}

\frac{x-4}{2x-4}=\frac{x-3}{2x-1}\\ \\(x-4)(2x-1)=(x-3)(2x-4)\\ \\2x^{2}-x-8x+4=2x^{2}-4x-6x+12\\ \\-9x+4=-10x+12\\ \\10x-9x=12-4\\ \\x=8\ in
