Answer:

The teacher should set the score 7 as the lowest passing grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of correct guesses.

All the questions are of true-false format.

The probability of getting a correct answer is, <em>p</em> = 0.50.

The total number of questions is, <em>n</em> = 10.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 10 and <em>p </em>= 0.50.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={10\chose x}0.50^{x}(1-0.50)^{10-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

Now the teaches chose the grading scheme such that the probability of passing a student who guesses on every question is less than 0.05.

Then the probability of failing such a students is at least 1 - 0.05 = 0.95.

Compute the probability distribution of <em>X</em>.

Consider the probability distribution attached below.

The value of <em>x</em> for which P (X ≤ x) is at least 0.95 is, <em>x</em> = 7.

So the teacher should set the score 7 as the lowest passing grade.

Ajay's car used 314 gallons of gas on a trip to the beach. Assume 1 gallon = 3.8 liters. What is the best estimate of the number
Marina86 [1]

Answer

Find out the what is the best estimate of the number of liters Ajay's car used .

To prove

As given

Ajay's car used 314 gallons of gas on a trip to the beach.

Assume 1 gallon = 3.8 liters

Than

The number of liters Ajay's car used = 314 × 3.8

                                                             = 1193.2 litres

Therefore 1193.2 litres Ajay's car used .
