RoseWind [281]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>AC = 36.01</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ΔABC and ΔADB, since both triangles are right angled triangles then the following are true.

From ΔADB, AB² = AD²+BD²

Given AB = 24 and AD = 16

BD² = AB² - AD²

BD² = 24²-16²

BD² = 576-256

BD² = 320

BD = \sqrt{320}

BD = 17.9

from ΔABC, AC² = AB²+BC²

SInce AC = AD+DC and BC² = BD² + DC² (from ΔBDC )we will have;

(AD+DC)² = AB²+ (BD² + DC²)

Given AD = 16, AB = 24 and BD = 17.9, on substituting

(16+DC)² = 24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC+DC² =  24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC = 24²+17.9²

32DC = 24²+17.9² - 256

32DC = 640.41

DC = \frac{640.41}{32}

DC = 20.01

Remember that AC = AD+DC

AC = 16+20.01

AC = 36.01

A quiz in statistics course has four multiple-choice questions, each with five possible answers. A passing grade is three or mor
nekit [7.7K]

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
