Answer:

0.4114 = 41.14% probability that he answers at most three of them are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is answered correctly, or it is not. The probability of a question being answered correctly is independent of any other question. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

20 questions:

This means that n = 20

Assume that each question has five possible choices, and only one of them is correct.

This means that p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

What is the probability that he answers at most three of them are correct?

This is:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{20} = 0.0115

P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{19} = 0.0576

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.1369

P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{17} = 0.2054

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 = 0.4114

0.4114 = 41.14% probability that he answers at most three of them are correct

If the parent function f(x)=\root(3)(x) is transformed to g(x)=\root(3)(x+2-4), which is the graph of g(x)?
Arisa [49]

ANSWER

A.

EXPLANATION

The parent function is

f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}

This function is transformed to obtain

g(x) =  \sqrt[3]{x + 2}  - 4

The +2 is a horizontal translation, that shifts the graph of the parent function to the left by 2 units.

The -4 is a vertical translation, that shifts the graph of the parent function down by 4 units.

The correct option is A.
