Assume that random guesses are made for eight multiple choice questions on an SAT test, so that there are n= 8 trials, each with

probability of success (correct) given by p=0.3. Find the indicated probability for the number of correct answers. Find the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4​

4 0

Answer:

0.80589

Step-by-step explanation:

So all of the numbers of correct answers less than 4 are 0,1,2,3

We need to calculate the probability for each separately and then add them together.

To find the probability we have to first find the combination. We know that there’s n=8 trials and that p=0.3. So 1-0.3 gives us 0.7.

The combination formula is: ! / (!(−)!)

So the n would always =8, and the r would be 0,1,2,3. So you would have to calculate it for 0,1,2,3 Separately. This can be done by hand or you can use a simple combinations calculator online.

For 0;

The combination is 1,

1 x 0.3^0 x 0.7^8-0 =

0.057648

For 1;

The combination is 8,

8 x 0.3^1 x 0.7^8-1 =

0.19765

For 2;

The combination is 28

28 x 0.3^2 x 0.7^8-2 =

0.296475

For 3;

The combination is 56

56 x 0.3^3 x 0.7^8-3 =

0.254122

All that’s left is to add these four numbers;

0.057647 + 0.19765 + 0.296475 + 0.254122 = 0.80589

suppose f(x)=3x+5. describe how the graph of each function compares to f. 1) g(x)=f(x)+12 2) h(x)=f(x)-7 3) g(x)=f(x=8) 4) h(x)=
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

1)

g(x) = f(x)+12 represents translating f(x) 12 units up to get g(x). This is because y = f(x), so we're effectively adding 12 to each y coordinate of the points on f(x) to have them move to the points on g(x).

note: the term "translating" is another way of saying "shifting" or "sliding".

===================================================

2)

h(x) = f(x)-7 means translating f(x) 7 units down to get h(x). We use the same reasoning as in problem 1. The general form is h(x) = f(x)+k, and in this case, k = -7. The negative k value tells us to shift down.

===================================================

3)

g(x) = f(x+8) means we translate 8 units to the left. The general template is g(x) = f(x-h). If h > 0, then we shift right. If h < 0, then we shift left. The amount that is shifted is equal to the absolute value of h.

===================================================

4)

h(x) = f(x-14) tells us to shift f(x) 14 units to the right. Same idea as problem 3, but now h = 14.

===================================================

5)

g(x) = 4*f(x) means we vertically stretch f(x) by a factor of 4. Since y = f(x), we are effectively doing g(x) = 4*f(x) = 4*y, which pulls the y coordinates upward by a factor of 4. A point like (1,2) will jump to (1,8) after multiplying the y coordinate by 4.

===================================================

6)

g(x) = f(5x) tells us to horizontally compress f(x) by a factor of 5. The general template is g(x) = f(a*x) where the 'a' determines horizontal stretching or compression. If 0 \le a \le 1, then we have horizontal stretching going on. If a > 1, then we'll have horizontal compression.

Describe how you would use a yardstick to measure a rug
Dafna11 [192]
Well first of this makes sense because you need to make sure your rug will fit.  So anyways, first lay your rug out on a flat surface, grab your yardstick, lay it on the rug to find the length and then the width.  you then know the size of your rug(assuming its square).  You can do the same thing in the room you want it in.

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=-4x - 5 and passes through the point (-2, 6)?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

B.) y=-4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel, the slope is the same

y = -4x-5 has a slope of -4, so the new line has a slope of -4

We have a slope and a point, so we can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x2)

y-6 = -4(x--2)

y-6 = -4(x+2)

Distribute

y-6 =-4x -8

Add 6 to each side

y-6+6 = -4x-8+6

y = -4x-2
