A quiz in statistics course has four multiple-choice questions, each with five possible answers. A passing grade is three or mor

e correct answers to the four questions. Allison has not studied for the quiz. She has no idea of the correct answer to any of the questions and decides to guess at random for each.

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

Determine the equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1)
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:

  • y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1

The graph is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates (4, -1)

If we put the coordinate values (4, -1) in the given equations, we determine that only y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1 is the valid equation as it satisfies the given coordinate value.

For example, putting  (4, -1) in the equation

y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1

\left(-1\right)=\left(4-4\right)^2-1

-1=\left(0\right)^2-1

-1=0-1

-1=-1

So, the equation y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1 is true for the coordinate values (4, -1).

Therefore, the required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:

  • y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1

Please check, the graph is also attached.

A baker uses 2.327 kilograms of blueberries for muffins. There are four packages at the fruit market. Which amount is closest to
irinina [24]

Answer:

2.33 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

If the baker needs to use 2.327 kilograms of blueberries, we are going to subtract the amount of the packages to the amount he needs and we'll see which is the smallest number.

In the case of 2.3, 2.327 - 2.3 = .027

In the case of 2.42, 2.327 - 2.42 = -0.09

In the case of 2.33, 2.327 - 2.33 = -0.003

In the case of 2.4, 2.327 - 2.4 = -0.07

Therefore, the closest amount to 2.327 is the 2.33 package.
