Tell your cousin good luck and that the answer is 5 :)
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.95 probability that he will hit it. One day, Samir decides to attempt to hit 10 such targets in a row.
Assuming that Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 10 targets, what is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?
Answer:
40.13%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'A' be the event of not missing a target in 10 attempts.
Therefore, the complement of event 'A' is 
Now, Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 10 targets. Therefore, probability of hitting each target each time is same and equal to 0.95.
Now, 
We know that the sum of probability of an event and its complement is 1.
So, 
Therefore, the probability of missing a target at least once in 10 attempts is 40.13%.
Answer:
(5h-4t)(5h+4t)
Step-by-step explanation:
25h² - 16t²
adding and subtracting 20ht from it (√25 and √16 = 5x4 = 20):
25h² + 20ht - 20ht -16t²
factor:
(5h-4t)(5h+4t)
Answer:
h(8q²-2q) = 56q² -10q
k(2q²+3q) = 16q² +31q
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Replace x in the function definition with the function's argument, then simplify.
h(x) = 7x +4q
h(8q² -2q) = 7(8q² -2q) +4q = 56q² -14q +4q = 56q² -10q

2. Same as the first problem.
k(x) = 8x +7q
k(2q² +3q) = 8(2q² +3q) +7q = 16q² +24q +7q = 16q² +31q

Comment on the problem
In each case, the function definition says the function is not a function of q; it is only a function of x. It is h(x), not h(x, q). Thus the "q" in the function definition should be considered to be a literal not to be affected by any value x may have. It could be considered another way to write z, for example. In that case, the function would evaluate to ...
h(8q² -2q) = 56q² -14q +4z
and replacing q with some value (say, 2) would give 196+4z, a value that still has z as a separate entity.
In short, I believe the offered answers are misleading with respect to how you would treat function definitions in the real world.
