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

IHELP if 1 out of 5 animals are cats then how many cats are there in an ecosystem of 200 animals???​
mote1985 [20]
There are 40 cats in the ecosystem.

You set 1/5 equal to x/200. Then you cross multiply the fractions to get 5x=200. You divide both terms by 5 to get x, which equals 40.

The length of a rectangle is 3 ft less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 14 ft2 . find the dimensions of th
omeli [17]
Given: A= 14 ft²  and  l= 2w-3 
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify: 
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2 
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft

A small company plans to invest in a new advertising campaign.

There is a 20% chance that the company will lose $5,000 ,

50% chance of a break even, and a 30% chance of a $10,000 profit


So the expected value from the advertisement campaign is calculated as - 20% of 5000 + 0% of 5000 + 30% of 10,000

= -1000 + 0 + 3000

= 2000


The expected value from the advertisement campaign is $2000.

So the Company must go ahead with the campaign.


Answer : Option A


Hope it helps.


Thank you ..!!
