Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5)^2 = 25, since -5 x -5 is 25.

Now, if the -5 hadn't been in parenthesis, -5^2 would be read as -(5 x 5), and would equal -25.

student randomly receive 1 of 4 versions(A, B, C, D) of a math test. What is the probability that at least 3 of the 5 student te

alexdok [17]

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the students receive different versions of the math namely A, B, C and D.

So, the probability that a student receives version A = $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Thus, the probability that the student does not receive version A = $1-\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ .

So, the possibilities that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A are,

1) 3 receives version A and 2 does not receive version A

2) 4 receives version A and 1 does not receive version A

3) All 5 students receive version A

Then the probability that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A is given by,

$\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}$
