In a multiple choice quiz, there are 5 questions each with 4 answer choices (a, b, c, and d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

at all and decides to randomly guess the answers.
A. What is the probability she gets the majority of the questions correct?
B. What is the probability the first question she gets right is the 3rd question?
C. What is the probability she gets exactly 3 or exactly 4 questions right?

Answer:

A.  0.1035

B.  0.1406

C.  0.1025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the number of sample questions (n) = 5

The probability of choosing the correct choice (p) = 1/4 = 0.25

Suppose X represents the number of question that are guessed correctly.

Then, the required probability that she gets the majority of her question correctly is:

P(X>2) = P(X=3) + P(X =4) + P(X = 5)

P(X>2) =  [ (^{5}C_{3}) \times (0.25)^3 (1-0.25)^{5-3} + (^{5}C_{4}) \times (0.25)^4 (1-0.25)^{5-4} + (^{5}C_{5}) \times (0.25)^5 (1-0.25)^{5-5}

P(X>2) = \Bigg [ \dfrac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} \times (0.25)^3 (1-0.25)^{2} + \dfrac{5!}{4!(5-4)!}  \times (0.25)^4 (1-0.25)^{1} +\dfrac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}  \times (0.25)^5 (1-0.25)^{0} \Bigg ]

P(X>2) = [ 0.0879 + 0.0146 + 0.001 ]

P(X>2) = 0.1035

B.

Recall that

n = 5 and p = 0.25

The probability that the first Q. she gets right is the third question can be computed as:

P(X=x) = 0.25 ( 1- 025) ^{x-1}

Since, x = 3

P(X = 3) = 0.25 ( 1- 0.25 ) ^{3-1}

P(X =3) = 0.25 (0.75)^{3-1}

P(X =3) = 0.25 (0.75)^{2}

P(X=3) = 0.1406

C.

The probability she gets exactly 3 or exactly 4 questions right is as follows:

P(X. 3 or 4) = P(X =3) + P(X =4)

P(X=3 \ or \ 4) =  [ (^{5}C_{3}) \times (0.25)^3 (1-0.25)^{5-3} + (^{5}C_{4}) \times (0.25)^4 (1-0.25)^{5-4}]

P(X=3 \ or \ 4) = \Bigg [ \dfrac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} \times (0.25)^3 (1-0.25)^{2} + \dfrac{5!}{4!(5-4)!}  \times (0.25)^4 (1-0.25)^{1} \Bigg ]

P(X = 3 or 4) = [ 0.0879 + 0.0146 ]

P(X=3 or 4) = 0.1025

Can someone please help me with question 35?
Genrish500 [490]
First you would find the area of the triangle which would be 84×92 then divide that answer by 2.
Then you will find the area of the circle using the given radius 20.5.
Lets work it out.
84×92=7728
7728÷2=3864 ft²
3864 ft² is the area of the backyard including the pool.
A=pi(20.5)²
A=1320.25 ft²
1320.25 ft² is the area of the pool.
Now we have to subtract to get the area of the backyard without the pool.
3864-1320.25=2543.75 ft²
2543.75 ft² is your answer.
Hope This Helps and God Bless!

Solve the system of equations Algebraically.
grandymaker [24]
Since y=x+3 (given)
Put value of y in equation x+y=(-3)
x+x+3=(-3)
2x=(-6)
x=(-3)
Put x=(-3) in x+y=(-3)
(-3)+y=(-3)
y=0
So, x=(-3)
y=0

Trig: Which complex number's graph is shown?
Andrei [34K]

ANSWER

2 \sqrt{2} ( \cos( \frac{7\pi}{4}   + i  \sin(  \frac{7\pi}{4} ) )

EXPLANATION

The complex number shown has coordinates (2,-2)

or

z = 2 - 2i

The modulus is

|z|  =  \sqrt{ {2}^{2}  +  {( - 2)}^{2} }

|z|  =  \sqrt{ 8} = 2 \sqrt{2}

The argument is

\theta= \tan^{ - 1} ( \frac{ - 2}{2} )

\theta= \tan^{ - 1} ( -1) =  \frac{7\pi}{4}

The polar form is

2 \sqrt{2} ( \cos( \frac{7\pi}{4}   + i  \sin(  \frac{7\pi}{4} ) )

The first option is correct.
