On a recent test, Ahmed knew many of the answers, but there were four questions he was unsure of. In each of the four questions,

he was able to eliminate two answers as being clearly wrong and was left with three answer choices to choose from. In each of the four questions, he randomly selected one of the remaining three answers. Which of these statements describes how Ahmed could simulate this situation with a random number generator to determine if he will select the correct answers for these four questions?
It is impossible to simulate this with a random number generator without knowing what the correct answer choices were Using his calculator, Ahmed could use the Randint(1,4) command three times to select three integers from 1 to 4. Let a 1 indicate a correct guess, and a 2, 3, or 4 indicate an incorrect guess. Count the number of 1s to correspond to the number of correct guesses. Using his calculator, Ahmed could use the Randint(1,4) command to select a random integer from 1 to 4. This would be the number of correct guesses he made on the four questions. Using his calculator, Ahmed could use the Randint(1,3) command four times to select four integers from 1 to 3. Leta 1 indicate a correct guess, and a 2 or 3 indicate an incorrect guess.

Answer:

It is impossible to simulate this with a random number generator without knowing what the correct answer choices were

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Questions = 4

Options = 5

Required

How can he select the right answer

Using randint will only generate a random number which could or could not be the answer to the question.

This is so because each of the 5 options for the question has the same probability of 1/5. So, using randint will only generate a random number. This generated random number has 1/5 chance of being the answer and 4/5 of not being the answer to the question.

In a nutshell, he can not make use of a simulator to select the answer to the questions in this scenario, unless he knows the solution.

<em>Hence (a) answers the question.</em>

48. Reading Rates The reading speed of sixth-grade students is approximately normal, with a mean speed of 125 words per minute a
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile is 155.72 words per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 125, \sigma = 24

What is the reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 125}{24}

X - 125 = 1.28*24

X = 155.72

The reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile is 155.72 words per minute.
