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

Given:

\text{ Dimension = 3}\times5

Sol:

Area of picture is:

\begin{gathered} =\text{ length}\times\text{ Width} \\  \\ =15 \end{gathered}

If the cost $10 per square inch then price of 15 square inch is:

\begin{gathered} =15\times10 \\  \\ =150 \end{gathered}

If the quadruple of dimension that mean:

\begin{gathered} \text{ l ength = 4 length} \\  \\ Width\text{ = 4 width} \end{gathered}

So area is:

\begin{gathered} A=4\text{ length}\times4\text{ Width} \\  \\ A=4(15) \\  \\ A=60 \end{gathered}

So price is:

\begin{gathered} =60\times10 \\  \\ =600 \end{gathered}
