The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is
(0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5) = 0.125 = 12.5% .

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions: 1 way

Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses,
then on the average, the score you expect is
(0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8
= 400 / 8
= 50% .
If you're happy with that score, great !
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.
Answer:
A: Southeast
B: Northwest
C: Southwest
D: Northeast
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 7 = 2(3x - 4) Remove the brackets
x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2
x + 7 = 6x - 8 Subtract 7 from both sides.
x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7
x = 6x - 15 Subtract 6x from both sides
x - 6x = - 15
-5x = - 15 Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = -15/-5
x = 3
(-4-(-7)) / (1-7) = (3) / (-6) = -1/2 = slope
Slope: 15 Y Int:40 equation y=15x+40. 24 Hours $55
