On Gavin's math test, 3/8 of the questions are division problems. Of the division problems, 4/9 of the problems he got incorrect
1 answer:
Something is strange in the wording of the question. "Of the division problems, 4/9 of the problems he got incorrect. What fraction of the division problems did Gavin get incorrect?" :) Well 4/9 of course. One statement answers another. Maybe they wanted the fraction of those wrong answers were in relation to the entire test???

The solution and complete explanation for the above question and mentioned conditions is given below in the attached document. I hope my explanation will help you in understanding this particular question.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved by using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.
mean = np = 10.000 * 0.5 = 5,000
The standard deviation is given by:
The probability of obtaining more than 5100 tails is 0.0228 and the probability of obtaining fewer than 5100 tails is 0.9772.
The odds of obtaining more than 5100 tails is therefore:
0.0228:0.9772 = 1:42.86.
mean = np = 10.000 * 0.5 = 5,000
The standard deviation is given by:
The probability of obtaining more than 5100 tails is 0.0228 and the probability of obtaining fewer than 5100 tails is 0.9772.
The odds of obtaining more than 5100 tails is therefore:
0.0228:0.9772 = 1:42.86.
