We can solve this problem using the binomial probability equation:

P = [n! / (n – r)! r!] p^r q^(n – r)

where the variables are:

n = total number of questions = 10

r = number of correct = at least 5

p = probability of success = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 0.5

 

So what we have to do is to calculate for P for r = 5 to 10

 

when r = 5

P =  [10! / (10 – 5)! 5!] 0.5^5 0.5^(10 – 5)

P = 0.246

 

when r = 6

P =  [10! / (10 – 6)! 6!] 0.5^6 0.5^(10 – 6)

P = 0.205

 

when r = 7

P =  [10! / (10 – 7)! 7!] 0.5^7 0.5^(10 – 7)

P = 0.117

 

when r = 8

P =  [10! / (10 – 8)! 8!] 0.5^8 0.5^(10 – 8)

P = 0.044

 

when r = 9

P =  [10! / (10 – 9)! 9!] 0.5^9 0.5^(10 – 9)

P = 9.766 x 10^-3

 

when r = 10

P =  [10! / (10 – 10)! 10!] 0.5^10 0.5^(10 – 10)

P = 9.766 x 10^-4

 

So the probability that her score will be at least 5 is:

P (r≥5) = 0.246 + 0.205 + 0.117 + 0.044 + 9.766 x 10^-3 + 9.766 x 10^-4

P (r≥5) = 0.623

 

So about 62.3% chance.


You can do the same for the other item quiz, just set the value of n

In Amy’s backyard, there are also chickens and rabbits. There are 5 more chickens than rabbits. The total number of legs is 130.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

There are 25 chickens and 20 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of chickens

y ----> the number of rabbits

Remember that

1 chicken has two legs

1 rabbit has four legs

so

2x+4y=130 -------> equation A

x=y+5 -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(y+5)+4y=130

2y+10+4y=130

6y=120

y=20 rabbits

Find the value of x

x=y+5

x=20+5=25 chickens

Which ratio is smaller 8 to 2 or 10 to 1
GalinKa [24]

Simplify the ratio 8 to 2 to be 4 to 1

Now compare 4 to 1 and 10 to 1

4 is smaller than 10 so the ratio 8 to 2 is smaller.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

For product A, the product is increasing, for the bigger the number you plug into x (due to the fact that the numbers become bigger because of the time: year 1, year 2, etc)

Product A is 82% change rate, while

product B is 983.45/4 = 245.8625,  1756.16/3 = 585.3867

Product B is 245.8625/585.3867

product B is 42% change rate

Product A change rate is higher than Product B by 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped! :)
