Complete question is;

Multiple-choice questions each have 5 possible answers, one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to 5 such questions.

Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first four guesses are wrong and the fifth is correct. That is, find P(WWWWC), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer.

P(WWWWC) =

Answer:

P(WWWWC) = 0.0819

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that each question has 5 possible answers and only 1 is correct. Thus, the probability of getting the right answer in any question is =

(number of correct choices)/(total number of choices) = 1/5

Meanwhile,since only 1 of the possible answers is correct, then there will be 4 incorrect answers. Thus, the probability of choosing the wrong answer would be;

(number of incorrect choices)/(total number of choices) = 4/5

Now, we want to find the probability of getting the 1st 4 guesses wrong and the 5th one correct. To do this we will simply multiply the probabilities of each individual event by each other.

Thus;

P(WWWWC) = (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (1/5) = 256/3125 ≈ 0.0819

P(WWWWC) = 0.0819

Solve the equation on the interval [0,2π). cos^4x=cos^4xcscx
Alisiya [41]
\bf cos^4(x)=cos^4(x)csc(x)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
cos^4(x)=cos^4(x)\cfrac{1}{sin(x)}\implies cos^4(x)=\cfrac{cos^4(x)}{sin(x)}
\\\\\\
cos^4(x)sin(x)=cos^4(x)\implies cos^4(x)sin(x)-cos^4(x)=0
\\\\\\
cos^4(x)[sin(x)-1]=0\to 
\begin{cases}
cos^4(x)=0\to x=cos^{-1}(0)\\
----------\\
sin(x)-1=0\\
sin(x)=1\to x=sin^{-1}(1)
\end{cases}

\bf \measuredangle x = cos^{-1}(0)\implies \measuredangle x = 
\begin{cases}
\frac{\pi }{2}\\\\
\frac{3\pi }{2}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\measuredangle x=sin^{-1}(1)\implies \measuredangle x=\frac{\pi }{2}
