Answer:

a) 0.0016

b) 0.0224

Step-by-step explanation:

If every question has 5 possible answers, the probability of getting the correct answer by guessing would be 0.20. The probability of getting an incorrect answer would be 0.80.

a)Find the probability she lucks out and answers all four questions correctly.

To do this, Allison would have to guess right the first, second, third AND fourth answers. Therefore, we have to multiply the probabilities:

0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 = 0.0016

The probability that she answers all 4 questions correctly is 0.0016.

b) Find the probability that she passes the quiz.

To pass the quiz, she has to have three OR 4 correct answers:

  1. The probability that she has 3 correct answers is: 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.80 (since she has to have 1 correct answer and 1 incorrect one) = .0064.
  2. We already calculated the probability that she guesses 4 answers correctly: 0.0016.

Now, we have to sum up these two scenarios:

0.0064 + 0.016 = 0.0224.

Thus, the probability that she passes the quiz is 0.0224

Jalen made $533.75 while working at his job. He makes $15.25 an hour, how many hours did he work to make that amount of money?
mixer [17]

Answer:

35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, people get their paycheck after 2 weeks.

Let say he worked 8 hours a day, a typical amount of hours for the average human who has a occupation.

Multiply the amount of hours by the amount payed every hour.

So 15.25 x 8 is 122

( so in 8 hours jalen made $122)

Add 8 hours, which would now be 16 hours worked.

16 x 15.25 = 244

(so in 16 hours jalen made $244)

Add another 8 hours of work time which would now be 24 hours (1 full day)

24x5.25=366

Add 10 hours on now which would be 34 hours worked (2 days = 48 hours meaning she worked 1 day and 10 hours )

34x15.25=518.50

(getting closer to the amount she earned)

So if we add another hour

which would be 35 hours worked (1 day 11 hours)

35 x 15.25 = 533.75

Therefore, Jalen worked 35 hours.
