7 0

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.

Find 25 seconds in the table. That's between 20 and 30, right? So, find the median between 19 and 28:
19 + 28
----------   = 23.5
      2

That is around 24 deep knee squats per 25 seconds. Now, use the same method for 65 seconds:

51 + 58
----------  = 54.5
     2

That is around 55 deep knee squats per 65 seconds.
Now, explain the method using words. You might wanna use the words "average" or "mean" to describe that process above.

What is the greatest common factor of 6a²b3 + 15ab^5– 9a^3b^2??
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

3ab^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 6a^2b^3

= 2 * 3 * a * a * b * b * b

Factor 15ab^5

= 3 * 5 * a * b * b * b * b * b

Factor 9a^3b^2

3 * 3 * a * a * a * b * b

Common Factor

= 3 * a * b * b

Simplify

= 3ab^2

Find the area and round to the nearest hundredth??
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

total area = 193.31 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangle area = 7 x 15 = 105 m²

semi circle area = (3.14)(7.5²)/2 = 88.31 m²

total area = 105 m² + 88.31 m² = 193.31 m²
