A student has to take two quizzes tomorrow. He has only enough time to study for one of them. The history quiz has 5 true or fal

se questions. The science quiz has 3 multiple choice questions. The student calculates the probability that he will get all the questions correct by guessing. The student will study for the quiz on which he is likely to do worse by guessing. Which quiz should he study for?
A. History, because he must get more questions correct.

B. Science, because the probability of getting all the questions correct is 0.016, which is lower than for history (0.031).

C. History, because the probability of getting all questions correct is 0.031, which is lower than for science (0.75).

D. Science, because the probability of getting all questions correct is 0.075, which is lower than for history (0.25).

Answer: option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel has to take two quizzes

1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz

Expected number of correct questions = np

n = number of questions

p = probability of acing the test

Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2

2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.

Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6

It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

a) Discrete Variable

b) Discrete Variable

c) Discrete Variable

d) Continuous Variable

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to identify the given variable as discrete r continuous.

Discrete Variables:

  • They are expressed in whole numbers.
  • They are counted not measured.
  • They cannot take any value within an interval.

Continuous Variables:

  • They are expressed in decimal numbers.
  • They are measured not counted.
  • They cannot take any value within an interval.

a) The number of countries ever visited

Since number of countries will always be expressed in whole numbers and not decimals. Also, they will always be counted and not measured. Thus, it is a discrete variable.

b) The number of sons

Since number of sons will always be expressed in whole numbers and not decimals. Also, they will always be counted and not measured. Thus, it is a discrete variable.

c) Shoe size

Shoe size are expressed in whole number. The underlying measure is length of feet which is a continuous variable but shoe size are always given in whole number. Thus, they cannot take any value within an interval. Thus, it is a discrete variable.

d) Body temperature

Body temperature can be expressed in decimal. A Body temperature of 42.5 makes sense. Thus, they can take any value within an interval. Also, it is measured not counted. Thus, it is a discrete variable.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 20xm. the length is 6cm longer than the width. what are the length and width of the rectangle?
aleksley [76]
Let width be x 

length= 6+x 

p=2(l+w) 
20=2(6+x+x) 
10=2x+6 
10-6=2x 
4=2x 
x=4/2
x=2 

Therefore the width is 2 cm and length is (6+2)= 8 cm 

Hope I helped :)

Question 1 (1 point)
insens350 [35]

Answer:

1. q = p - mn

2. c = -6

3. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

mn=p-q\\\textsf{add q to both sides}\implies mn + q = p\\\textsf{subtract mn from both sides}\implies q = p-mn

2.

5c+23=c-1\\\textsf{subtract 23 from both sides}\implies5c=c-24\\\textsf{subtract c from both sides}\implies4c=-24\\\textsf{divide both sides by 4}\implies c=-6

3.

4f^2-g\\\implies 4(2)^2-3=13\\\\3f^2-3g\\\implies 3(2)^2-(3 \times3)=3\\\\13-3=10
