Standard tests, such as the SAT or ACT or MCAT, tend to make extensive use of multiple-choice questions because they are easy to

grade using software. If one such multiple choice question has possible correct answers of a, b, c, d, e, what is the probability of a wrong answer if the answer is a random guess

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of options = a, b, c, d, e

Number of correct answer choice = 1

Therefore, number of wrong answers = 4

Recall :

Probability = (number required outcome / number of total possible outcomes)

P(wrong answer) :

Number of Required outcome = number of wrong answer choices = 4

Total answers = 5

Hence,

P(wrong answer) = 4 / 5 = 0.8

Neko [114]

Answer:

Your teacher is right, there is not enough info

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Question 1</h3>

We can see that RS is divided by half

The PQ is not indicated as perpendicular to RS or RQ is not indicates same as QS

So P is not on the perpendicular bisector of RS

<h3>Question 2</h3>

We can see that PD⊥DE and PF⊥FE

There is no indication that PD = PF or ∠DEP ≅ FEP

So PE is not the angle bisector of ∠DEF

Jeremy and Brenda drove their cars in
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: Jeremy drove 84 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles that Brenda drove.

If Jeremy drove twice

as far as Brenda, it means that the distance covered by Jeremy would be 2x miles

When they stopped after some time, they were already

126 miles apart. This means that the total distance covered by both of them is 126 miles. Therefore,

x + 2x = 126

3x = 126

x = 126/3

x = 42 miles

The number of miles that Jeremy drove is

42 × 2 = 84 miles

One angle of a triangle has a measure of 66. The measure of the third angle is 57 more than half the measure of the second angle
Daniel [21]

So let's say that the second angle is x.

Then we can say that the third angle is \frac{1}{2}x+57.

So then we have three angles:

1) 66°

2) x°

3) (\frac{1}{2}x+57)°

So then we can add these together and solve for x by setting it equal to the total degrees left in the triangle after subtracting the known angle:

x+\frac{1}{2}x+57=114

\frac{3}{2}x+57=114

\frac{3}{2}x=57

\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{2}x=57*\frac{2}{3}

x=\frac{114}{3}  =38

So now we know that the measure of the second angle is 38°. So then we can use this value to solve for the third angle:

\frac{1}{2}(38) +57=76

So the values of the angles are:

1) 66°

2) 38°

3) 76°

Keisha's boat has a top speed of 9 miles per hour in still water. While traveling on a river at top speed, she went 10 miles ups
neonofarm [45]
If she went 10 miles upstream in the same time as she went 20 miles downstream, that means the downstream speed is twice the upstream speed.

The speed is still water is 9 mph.
The speed of the current is c.
Going downstream, the current adds speed, so the sped downstream is 9 + c.
The speed upstream is 9 - c.
9 + c is twice 9 - c.

9 + c = 2(9 - c)

9 + c = 18 - 2c

3c = 9

c = 3

Answer: The speed of the current is 3 mph.

Check:
9 + c = 12
9 - c = 6
By taking into the account the speed of the current, the downstream speed, 12 mph, is indeed twice the upstream sped, 6 mph.

Which of the following is an example of the additive identity?<br> a +(-a) = 0<br> a+0=0<br> a+0= a
UNO [17]

Answer:

a+0= a

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>additive identity</u> property says that if you add a real number to zero or add zero to a real number, then you get the same real number back

so

Let

a -----> a real number

a+0=0+a=a

therefore

a+0= a
