Answer:6000


Step-by-step explanation:3 quarters is equal to 9/12. And 1/3 is equal to 4/12

If it is 9/12 full and 2500 gallons are drained then there are 4/3 left

9/12 - 4/3 is equal to 5/12.

Thta means 2500 gallons is 5/12 of the whole container

5/12 divided by 5 is 1/12

And 2500 divided by 5 is 500

That means every 1/12 of the container can fill 500 gallons

Do then 500 times 12 is 6000



Sorry I am really bad at explaining

Answer:

a)  8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) 0.2137 (21.37%)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the test contains 25 questions and each questions is independent of the others, then the random variable X= answer "x" questions correctly , has a binomial probability distribution. Then

P(X=x)= n!/((n-x)!*x!)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= total number of questions= 25

p= probability of getting a question right = 1/4

then

a) P(x=n) = p^n = (1/4)²⁵ = 8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) P(x<5)= F(5)

where F(x) is the cumulative binomial probability distribution- Then from tables

P(x<5)= F(5)= 0.2137 (21.37%)
