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}.

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)

Please help which should I choose

<h3>Answer: Choice A. Graph (1)</h3>

Reasoning:

If it is at all possible to draw a single vertical line through more than one point on the curve, then the graph is not a function. With graphs (2), (3) and (4), we can draw a vertical line through more than one point on those curves, so they aren't functions. Graph (1) is the only thing left. This graph is a function because it is not possible to draw a single vertical line through more than one point. It passes the vertical line test. Any input (x) leads to exactly one and only one y output.

Nice work on getting the correct answer when you chose "graph (1)".

An architect designs a rectangular flower garden such that the width is exactly two-thirds of the length. If 340 feet of antique
KIM [24]

Answer:

The dimensions of the garden is 102 feet by 68 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the width and length of the garden

The perimeter is represented by the length of the fencing

From the question;

w = 2l/3

The formula for the perimeter is;

P = 2(l + w)

Thus;

340 = 2(l + 2l/3)

170 = (l + 2l/3)

Multiply through by 3

510 = 3l + 2l

5l = 510

l = 102 feet

w = 2/3 * l

w = 2/3 * 102

w = 68 feet
