Find the sequence of -1, 1, __, 5, _

Philip ran out of time while taking a multiple-choice test and plans to guess the last 4 questions. Each question has 5 possible

White raven [17]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

Considering that there are 4 questions, and each has 5 choices, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 4, p = 1/5 = 0.2.

The probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions is P(X = 1), hence:

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

$P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.4096$

0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

what is the volume of the rectangular prisms with a length of 1 5/8, a width of 3/8, and a height of 3in

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

To find the volume of a cube one must multiply all three dimensions together. Here we know two of the dimensions and the volume but not the third dimension. First I multipl together to two known dimensions: 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8. Next I divide the volume by this answer by using the reciprocal of 3/8 and multipling. 21/32 x 8/3 = 7/4 by cancelling the 32 with the 8 and the 21 with the 3. Now 7/4 must be changed into a mixed number. Divide the numerator by the denominator and write the remainder as a fraction. 7/4 = 1 3/4.

She worked a total of 15 hours. If she makes $15 per hour tutoring and $9 per hour at the grocery store and made a total of $159

Ugo [173]

Answer:

11 hours she worked at the grocery store

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming,

the number of hours worked at tutoring = x

the number of hours worked at grocery store = y

which means,

the amount she made at tutoring = x* $15

the amount she made at grocery store = y*$9

we have 2 equations

total number of hours

1) x+y= 15

total amount she earned

2) x* $15+ y* $9= $159

From equation 1

x+y= 15

x=15-y

we replace this x value in equation 2

x* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15-y)* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15*15)- 15y+9y=159

225-6y=159

225-159=6y

66=6y

66/6=y

11=y the number of hours she worked at grocery store.

we place y=11 in our derived x equation

x=15-y

x=15-11

x=4 the number of hours she worked at tutoring.

For each of the following, state the equation of a perpendicular line that passes through (0, 0). Then using the slope of the ne

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y=3x-1

The standard equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.

Given that y=3x-1, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 3, Two lines with slope a and b are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1 i.e. ab = -1. Let the line perpendicular to y=3x-1 be d, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

3 × d = -1

d = -1/3

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

$y-y_1=d(x-x_1)\\d\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-\frac{1}{3} (x-0)\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x$

To find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x\\ 4=-\frac{1}{3}x\\-x=12\\x=-12$

b) y=1/4 x+2

Given that y=1/4 x+2, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 1/4. Let the line perpendicular to y=1/4 x+2 be f, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

1/4 × f = -1

f = -4

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

$y-y_1=f(x-x_1)\\f\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-4 (x-0)\\y=-4x$

To find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

$y=-4}x\\ 4=-4x\\x=-1$
