Answer:

50 ;

25 ;

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of multiple choice questions = 100

Number of possible responses = 2

Hence, probability of success, p = 1/2 = 0.5

Using normal approximation :

The expected score = mean = n*p

Expected score (X) = 100 * 0.5 = 50

standard deviation = std(X) = √

Var(X) = n*p*q

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Variance = Var(X) = (100 * 0.5 * 0.5)

Var(X) = 25

Var(X) = 25

The Standard deviation (Std) = √Var(X)

Std(X) = √25

Std(X) = 5

The total cost CC (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by the literal equation C=85x+60C=85x+60, where xx is the n
Morgarella [4.7K]
First of all why is there 2 similar equation connected to one another?

Second in order to solve this all you need to do is plug in the number and solve for x

For 485

85x+60=485
85x=420
X=5

Do the same thing and you get 3
