What is the answer to w minus negitave 3=18

1 answer:

5 0

W - - 3 = 18; since there is a double negative in front of 3, you can rewrite it as;
w + 3 = 18; now you need to subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the w, and your answer is w = 15

ANSWER
0.756

EXPLANATION

Let x represent number of correct answers.

We can find

$P(x = 0 \text{ or } x = 1)$

which leads us to

$P(x\ge 2) = 1 - P(x = 0\text{ or }x = 1)$

which uses the compliment of $P(x = 0\text{ or }x = 1)$ to find the probability of getting at least 2 questions correct.

Note that since $P(x=0)$ and $P(x=1)$ are mutually exclusive, we have

$P(x = 0\text{ or }x = 1) = P(x=0) + P(x=1)$

Then $P(x=0) = 3^{10}/4^{10} = (3/4)^{10}$ as we have $3^{10}$ to answer the questions incorrectly divided by the total $4^{10}$ to answer the questions.

Exactly 1 answer correct: $P(x=1) = {}_{10}C_1 \cdot(3/4)^9(1/4)^1$

Therefore

$\begin{aligned}
P(x \ge 2) &= 1 - P(x = 0\text{ or }x =1) \\
&=1 - \big[P(x=0) + P(x=1)\big] \\
&=1 - \left[ (3/4)^{10} + {}_{10}C_1 \cdot (3/4)^9(1/4)^1 \right] \\
&\approx 0.756
\end{aligned}$
