In a multiple choice exam, there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Nancy has not studied for the exa

m at all and decides to randomly guess the answers. What is the probability that: (a) the first question she gets right is the 5th question? (b) she gets all of the questions right? (c) she gets at least one question right?

Answer: a) 0.07910, b) 0.000976, c) 0.7626

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of questions = 5

Number of choices = 4

P(getting correct) = \dfrac{1}{4}=0.25

a) the first question she gets right is the 5th question?

P(getting 4 wrongs answers and one right answer) is given by

(1-0.25)^4\times 0.25\\\\=0.75^4\times 0.25\\\\=0.07910

b) she gets all of the questions right?

P(all right )= 0.25^5=0.000976

c) she gets at least one question right?

1-P(All of them wrong)

=1-(1-0.25)^5\\\\=1-0.7565\\\\=1-0.2373\\\\=0.7626

Hence, a) 0.07910, b) 0.000976, c) 0.7626

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

A. Amount(hours worked)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Function notation is a way of converting a written description of a function to a concise form that is easy to read.

It is another way of representing the y-value in a function, y = ƒ(something)

Let's convert the word expression to function notation:

  • "The amount charged for labour depends on the time the repair technician works."
  • "The amount depends on the hours worked."
  • "The amount is a function of the hours worked."
  • Amount = amount(hours worked)
  •           y = a(h)

What is the likelihood that a fair coin will land heads or tails?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

I believe it is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you flip a normal coin (called a “fair” coin in probability parlance), you normally have no way to predict whether it will come up heads or tails. Both outcomes are equally likely. There is one bit of uncertainty; the probability of a head, written p(h), is 0.5 and the probability of a tail (p(t)) is 0.5. The sum of the probabilities of all the possible outcomes adds up to 1.0, the number of bits of uncertainty we had about the outcome before the flip. Since exactly one of the four outcomes has to happen, the sum of the probabilities for the four possibilities has to be 1.0. To relate this to information theory, this is like saying there is one bit of uncertainty about which of the four outcomes will happen before each pair of coin flips. And since each combination is equally likely, the probability of each outcome is 1/4 = 0.25. Assuming the coin is fair (has the same probability of heads and tails), the chance of guessing correctly is 50%, so you'd expect half the guesses to be correct and half to be wrong. So, if we ask the subject to guess heads or tails for each of 100 coin flips, we'd expect about 50 of the guesses to be correct. Suppose a new subject walks into the lab and manages to guess heads or tails correctly for 60 out of 100 tosses. Evidence of precognition, or perhaps the subject's possessing a telekinetic power which causes the coin to land with the guessed face up? Well,…no. In all likelihood, we've observed nothing more than good luck. The probability of 60 correct guesses out of 100 is about 2.8%, which means that if we do a large number of experiments flipping 100 coins, about every 35 experiments we can expect a score of 60 or better, purely due to chance.

Question 3
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Domain:  -3\leq x\leq 1

Range:  -4\leq y\leq 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If you find the coordinate of the graph you can get the domain and range

(-3,0), (-2,-4), (-1,-2), (0,0), (1, -4)

Now that we have that find the domain and range

Domain -  x coordinate

Range - y coordinate

Domain: (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1)

Range: (-4, -2, 0)

Since the domain ranges from -3 to 1 you can use the inequality -3\leq x\leq 1 to represent the domain and -4\leq y\leq 0 for the range
