Answer:

probability that exactly 4 out of 9 questions are correct   is 0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Test consist of multiple choice question which as 4 choices

Total number of answer randomly = 9

Probability of having 4 answer correctly is calculated as

p = probability of having particular question is answered in correct way  

  = 1/4 = 0.25

q = probability of having particular question is answered incorrectly  

  = 3/4 = 0.75

Binomial expansion is beneficial in various situations at which   numerical  variables are present that are countable or whole numbers 

probability that exactly 4 out of 9 questions are correct  

 = ^9C_4 (0.25)^4 (0.75)^5

  = 120\ times 0.00390 \times 0.2373

   = 0.111

NISA [10]

Answer:

540x+680y<=20000

Step-by-step explanation:

x will be the number of laptops. Since they are $540 each, 540x is the amount spent on laptops, depending on how many (x) are purchased.

y will be the number if desktops. Since they are $680 each, 680y is the amount spent on desktops, depending on how many (y) are purchased.

Adding all the money spent on laptops and desktops, we get

540x + 680y. This amount must be less than the $20000. It can be exactly $20000 also. But it cannot be more than $20000.

540x+680y<=20000

Fittoniya [83]

\text{Hello There!}

\text{We are going to need to isolate the variable}

m - 15 = 20

\text{Add 15 to both sides.}

\text{We do this because we need to perform inverse operations to find} \text{the value of the variable.}

m - 15 + 15 = 20 + 15 = 35

\fbox{Therefore, your answer is going to be 35.}

\rule{300}{1.5}

Please help asap calculate the slope of the line through the points (6,-8) and (3,-4).
sammy [17]

Answer: y = -4/3x + 0. Yes, that point lies on the line

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this equation, Δy/Δx and this one, y = mx + b. Or, change in the y value divided by the change in the x value.

-4 + 8 = 4

3 - 6 = -3

The slope, m, is -4/3. Now solve for b by plugging in the slope.

-4 = \frac{-4}3 (3) + b. B is equal to 0

To see if that point lies on the function, plug it in the equation and see if it is true. Multiply -4 x -3 to get 12, divide by 3 to get 4, then add 0. The equation says that 4 = 4, which is infact true
