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.

Geometry I need help
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

145

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 4 and 5 are the same.

Which means that angle 3 and 6 are the same.

A straight line has an angle of 180 degrees in total.

This means that we have to subtract 35 from 180.

This gives us 145.

So, the missing angle is going to be 145 degrees.

*also, 1, 4, 5, and 8 are the same angle.

**2, 3, 6, 7 are also the same angle.

***I just remember learning about this last year, don't remember what there called tho.
