Each question has four choices, then the probability to guess a correct answer is p= \frac{1}{4} and the probability to select incorrect choice is  q=1-p=1- \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}.

You have a 5-question multiple-choice test, then n=5. The <span>probability that you will guess exactly three out of five questions correctly is </span>

</span><span>C_n^kp^nq^{n-k}=C_5^3p^3q^{5-3}= \dfrac{5!}{3!\cdot 2!} \left( \dfrac{1}{4} \right)^3\left( \dfrac{3}{4} \right)^2=\dfrac{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 1\cdot 2} \cdot \dfrac{9}{1024} =</span>
= \dfrac{90}{1024} = \dfrac{45}{512}.

Answer with explanation:

Number of Multiple Choice Question=5

Number of choices =4

Out of 4 choices one is correct Option.

Probability of Correct answer P(C→Correct)

  =\frac{\text{Total favorable Outcome}}{\text{Total Possible Outcome}}=\frac{1}{4}

Probability of Incorrect answer P(IC→Incorrect Answer)

   1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

→Experimental Probability of guessing three out of five questions correctly

= 3 Correct +2 Incorrect

=_{3}^{5}\textrm{C}[P(C)]^3\times [P(I C)]^2\\\\=\frac{5!}{3!\times 2!}\times[\frac{1}{4}]^3 \times[\frac{3}{4}]^2\\\\=10 \times \frac{1}{64} \times \frac{9}{16}\\\\=\frac{90}{1024}\\\\=0.87890

  =0.88(approx)

What are the zeros of the polynomial function? f(x)=x^3+x^2−9x−9
ella [17]

Answer:

1: x = -1

2: x = 3

3: x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=<u>x^3+x^2</u>−9x−9

f(x)=x^2<u>(</u>x+1) <u>−9x−9</u>

f(x) = x^2<u>(x+1)</u> - 9<u>(x+1)</u>

f(x)= (x+1)<u>(x^2-9)</u>

f(x) =(x+1)(x-3)(x+3)

dolphi86 [110]
The answer would be the first one.

I find it easier to expand the equation (you still get the same answer).

= 2 * 7x + 2 * 3y + 2 * 3
= 14x + 6y + 6

Hope this helps!
