"5. Multiple-choice questions each have five possible answers (a,b,c,d,e), one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the an

swers to three such questions. a. Use the multiplication rule to find P(WCC), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer. b. Beginning with WCC, make a complete list of the different possible arrangements of two correct answers and one wrong answer and find the probability of each. c. Based on the results of part (b) what is the probability of getting exactly two correct answers when three guesses are made?"

Answer:

A) P(WWC) = 0.128

B) P(WCC) = 0.032

P(CWC) = 0.032

P(CCW) = 0.032

C) probability of getting 2 correct answers when 3 guesses are made is i.e P (1 wrong and 2 correct) = 0.064

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Using the multiplication rule, we have; P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

Probability of a wrong answer = 4/5 = 0.8

Probability of a correct answer = 1/5 =0.2

Thus; P(WWC) = 0.8 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.128

B) Beginning with one wrong and two correct answers, a complete list of all possibilities is;

P(WCC), P(CWC), P(CCW)

Hence the complete list is;

(0.8 x 0.2 x 0.2); (0.2 x 0.8 x 0.2); (0.2 x 0.2 x 0.8)

So we have;

P(WCC) = 0.032

P(CWC) = 0.032

P(CCW) = 0.032

C) Based on the results above, the probability of getting 2 correct answers when 3 guesses are made is i.e P(1 wrong and 2 correct) = 2 x 0.032 = 0.064

If the perimeter of a square is 20, find the length of a diagonal
avanturin [10]

Answer:

7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Length</u></h2>

a square has equal length on each side

hence is the perimeter is 20 it means that :

each side is 20/4 = 5

we can make a diagonal line which create 3 right angled triangles

2 sides of the triangle are 5 , this is the base and the height

to find the length we can make use of the Pythagoras theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c is the hypotenuse ( the diagonal;)

a and b are the opposite and adjacent

hence :

c^2 = 5 ^2 + 5^2

c^2 = 50

c = \sqrt{50}

c = 7.071

to 3sf

<h3><u>diagonal length  = 7.07</u></h3>

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial.
Stella [2.4K]

we are given

trinomial as

x^2 -x -12

now, we can factor it

x^2 -x -12= x^2 -4x +3x -4*3

x^2 -x -12= x(x -4) +3(x -4)

x^2 -x -12= (x-4)(x+3)

so, option-C and D ..............Answer

HELP PLEASE!!
pogonyaev

Answer:

You need to have both the opposite and adjacent side of the right angled triangle. Tan = Opp/Adj

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangents are pretty much everywhere. A good example is maybe a slide at the playground. You’d need the tangent to figure out the angle of the slide and how it is.

The radius from the center of a circle to the point of tangency point shows that it would be perpendicular to the tangent line considering that anything with a radius is circular and the tangent line is… a line, making it impossible to be parallel.
