Answer:

Hi, There! Leah Is Correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is a repeating decimal if the prime factors of the denominator of the fraction in its lowest form do not only contain 2s and/or 5s or do not have any prime factors at all.

Answer: The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32 and common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

$a_n=a+(n-10)d.$

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

$a+(n-1)d=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32+(n-1)(-6)=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32-6n+6=2\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=36\\\\\Rightarrow n=6.$

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Answer:

a) Expected score on the exam is 12.8.

b) Variance 10.24, Standard deviation 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you guesses the answer correctly, or you does not. The probability of guessing the answer of a question correctly is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
