Answer:

0.006369

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a test consists of 10 multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers, one of which is correct.

By mere guessing p = probability for a right answer = 1/5 =0.20

There are two outcomes and each question is independent of the other.

X no of questions right is Bin (10,0.20)

the probability that the student will pass the test

= prob of getting more than 60%

=P(X\geq 6)

=0.006369

The square of one number is 23 less than the square of a second number. If the second number is 1 more than the first, what are
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are 11 & 12

Explanation:

Let the first number be f and the second |number be s

Now the square of first No. is 23 less than the square of second No.

ie.  f 2 + 23 = s 2 . . . . . (1)

The second No. is 1 more than the first

ie  f + 1 = s  . . . . . . . . . . .(2)

squaring (2), we get

( f + 1 ) 2 = s 2

expanding

f 2 + 2 ⋅ f + 1 = s 2  . . . . . (3)

Now (3) - (1) gives

2 ⋅ f − 22 = 0

or  

2 ⋅ f = 22

thus,  f = 22 2 = 11

and  s = f + 1 = 11 + 1

=

12

So the numbers are 11 & 12

the bottom of a 22-foot ladder must be placed 7 feet from a wall. to the nearest tenth of a foot, how far above the ground does
Kitty [74]
The ladder, the wall and the floor form together a triangle rectangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle and the floor and wall are the cathetus. We know from Pythagoreas theorem that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the two cathetus squared added, so we can write an equation with the data we have:
hyp^2 = cath1^2 + cath2^2
<span>hyp^2 = wall^2 + floor^2
</span>so we have the hypotenuse value, the floor value and the unknown is the wall height:
(22)^2 = wall^2 + (7)^2
484 = wall^2 + 49
wall^2 = 484 - 49 = 435
wall = √435
wall = 20.9
therefore the ladder touches the wall 20.9 feet above the ground
