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%

The picture below shows a container that Jeff uses to freeze water: A cylinder is shown with base diameter of 8 centimeters and
Butoxors [25]
Okay, first we need to figure out what one would make. We need to figure out the area of the base x height. The diameter is 8 so we will cut that to 4 so we can do piR2! 3.14x16 would be 50.24. Then we mutiply that by 10 to get 502.4cm3! Okay, now we would divide 2000/502.4 to find out how many times we would have to make the containers to get to 2000. The answer is 3.98, which we will have to round up since its asks for the minimum and you cant make a container 3.98 times. So the answer is 4!
