Complete question is;
Multiple-choice questions each have 5 possible answers, one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to 5 such questions.
Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first four guesses are wrong and the fifth is correct. That is, find P(WWWWC), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer.
P(WWWWC) =
Answer:
P(WWWWC) = 0.0819
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that each question has 5 possible answers and only 1 is correct. Thus, the probability of getting the right answer in any question is =
(number of correct choices)/(total number of choices) = 1/5
Meanwhile,since only 1 of the possible answers is correct, then there will be 4 incorrect answers. Thus, the probability of choosing the wrong answer would be;
(number of incorrect choices)/(total number of choices) = 4/5
Now, we want to find the probability of getting the 1st 4 guesses wrong and the 5th one correct. To do this we will simply multiply the probabilities of each individual event by each other.
Thus;
P(WWWWC) = (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (1/5) = 256/3125 ≈ 0.0819
P(WWWWC) = 0.0819

The population in the above situation is the total number of students under Mr. Wilson.
A sample is a part of the population that may best represent the population. There is no sample in the above situation because Mr. Wilson made all students pick 5 note cards. He will be able to determine the performance of each student based on their performance in picking 5 note cards and defining the terms in each card.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for this would be:
n+8=14, since we are adding 8 to a number and getting 14
To solve, isolate the variable n, by subtracting 8 from both sides
n+8=14
n+8-8=14-8
n=6
The number is 6
Given:
Cost to build a bookshelf = $20
Cost to build a table = $45
Amount available to spend = $600
Let x = number of bookshelves built.
Let y = number of tables built.
The total number of bookshelves and tables = 18.
Therefore
x + y = 18.
That is,
y = 18 - x (1)
The total amount available to build x bookshelves and y tables = $600. Therefore
20x + 45y = 600
That is (dividing through by 5),
4x + 9y = 120 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
4x + 9(18 - x) = 120
4x + 162 - 9x = 120
-5x = -42
x = 8.4
From (1),obtain
y = 18 - 8.4 = 9.6
Because we cannot have fractional bookshelves and tables, we shall test values of x=8, 9 and y=9,10 for profit
Note: The profit is $60 per bookshelf and $100 per table.
If x = 8, then y = 18-8 = 10.
The profit = 8*60 + 10*100 = $1480
If x = 9, then y = 18-9 = 9.
The profit = 9*60 + 9*100 = $1440
The choice of 8 bookshelves and 10 tables is more profitable.
Answer: 8 bookshelves and 10 tables.
