Answer:

B. -3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying by 0.5 is the same as divided by 2.

*Dont forget the negative.

-0.5(6.5)= 6.5/-2 = -3.25

in a final exam you have four multliple choice questions left to do. each questions has five suggested answers and only one of t

kompoz [17]

Answer:

The probability that you get zero questions correct is 0.4096

The probability that you get one questions correct is 0.4096

The probability that you get three questions correct is 0.0256

Step-by-step explanation:

These probability can be describe with a Binomial Distribution. These distribution can be used when we have n identical and independent situations in which there is a probability p or probability of success and a probability q or probability of fail. Additionally q is equal to 1 - p. The probability of x for a situation in which we can apply binomial distribution is:

$P( x,n,p) = n Cx * p^{x } * q^ {n-x}$

Where x is the variable that says the number of success in the n situations

And nCx is calculate as:

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

From the question we can identify that:

n is equal to 4 multiple choice question
p is 1/5 or 0.2, the probability of get one question correct
q is 4/5 or 0.8, the probability of get one question incorrect

Then the probability of get zero questions correct of 4 questions is:

$P( 0, 4, 0.2) = 4 C0 * p^{0 } * q^ {4-0}= 0.4096$

The probability of get one question correct of 4 questions is:

$P( 1, 4, 0.2) = 4 C1 * p^{1 } * q^ {4-1}= 0.4096$

The probability of get three questions correct of 4 questions is:

$P( 3, 4, 0.2) = 4 C3 * p^{3 } * q^ {4-3}= 0.0256$

The graph shows how the mass of copper

Alex777 [14]

Answer: 8 1/4g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph :

The rate of change in the mass of copper with respect to volume :

To obtain this, we find the slope or gradient of the graph:

Gradient = Δy / Δx = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Drawing a right angled triangle on the anybpart of the line of best fit:

y2 = 40 ; x2 = 4.75 ; y1 = 16 ; x1 = 2

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (40 -16) / (4.75 - 2)

= 24 / 2.75

= 2400/275

= 8.727 g/cm^3

Due to unit and graph scale,, the slope is closest to 8 1/4g/cm³

PLEASE HELP!!

To solve for f, you need to isolate/get the variable by itself in the equation:

4(0.5f - 0.25) = 6 + f Distribute 4 into (0.5f - 0.25)

(4)0.5f + (4)(-0.25) = 6 + f

2f - 1 = 6 + f Subtract f on both sides to get "f" on one side of the equation

2f - f - 1 = 6 + f - f

f - 1 = 6 Add 1 on both sides to get "f" by itself

f - 1 + 1 = 6 + 1

f = 7

PROOF

4(0.5f - 0.25) = 6 + f Substitute/plug in 7 into "f" since f = 7

4(0.5(7) - 0.25) = 6 + 7

4(3.5 - 0.25) = 13

4(3.25) = 13

13 = 13
