Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we should know that this problem is a Bernoulli trial problem.

We shall be using the equation of the trial later in the question.

We know that there are 5 options per questions, this mean that there are a total of 10 × 5 = 50 options.

Now, we also know that there are 10 correct options and 40 incorrect ones.

The probability of selecting a correct option is 10/50 = 0.2

The probability of selecting an incorrect option is 40/50 = 0.8

We know that since he is selecting exactly 6 correct answers, there has to be 4 incorrect ones, since he's attempting 10 questions.

Applying this parameters in the equation yields the following :

(10C6) × (0.2)^6 × (0.8)^4 = 210 × 0.000064 × 0.4096 =0.005505024

This is approximately equal to 0.006

The answers in the options are in percentage. Hence we convert the decimal to percentage.

6/1000 × 100% = 0.6%

Can someone please explain composite events to me in layman's terms?
kykrilka [37]

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple event is one that can only happen in one way - in other words, it has a single outcome. If we consider our previous example of tossing a coin: we get one outcome that is a head or a tail. A compound event is more complex than a simple event, as it involves the probability of more than one outcome.

What is the value of g(2)? Please show work
4vir4ik [10]

By the inequality for x over on the right side if x is equal to or greater than 2 you use the bottom equation.

G(2) means x is 2.

Using the bottom equation replace the x’s with 2 and solve.

X^3 -9x^2 +27x-25

2^3 -9(2)^2+27(2)-25

Simplify:

8 -36 + 54-25 =1

The answer is A. 1
