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.

In MODE, (second line), fix the number of decimal places to be 2. Then the slope and the y-intercept values of the LinReg line w
olasank [31]

The equation of line is y = 92x - 182631. The slope is 92 and the y-intercept is - 182631. And the health expenditure in 2010 will be 2289.

<h3>What is the equation of a line passing through two points?</h3>

Suppose the given points are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the equation of the straight line joining both two points is given by

\rm (y - y_1) = \left [ \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \right ] (x -x_1)

In MODE, (second line), fix the number of decimal places to be 2.

Then the slope and the y-intercept values of the Lin Reg line will round to the nearest hundredth.

(x₁, y₁) → (1997, 1093)

(x₂, y₂) → (2002, 1553)

Then we have

y – 1093 = [(1553 – 1093) / (2002 – 1997)] (x – 1997)

y – 1093 = [460  / 5] (x – 1997)

y – 1093 = 92 (x – 1997)

           y = 92x – 182631

If x = 2010, then the value of y will be

y = 92 × 2010 – 182631

y = 184920 – 192631

y = 2289

vredina [299]

Answer:

the y value equals 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)so

plug in 8 for x

5(8)=40

40 -2y=30

subtract 40 from both sides

-2y=-10

divide by -2

y=5

What is the output of this function when the input is 2
user100 [1]

If we say that this linear function is f(x), then the input of the function would be defined by x, which is 2 in this case.

This basically means we are finding f(x) when x is 2, or f(2), or in layman's terms, what the y value is when x is 2.

If we find 2 on the x-axis, and see where the line is on the y-axis, we see that when the input of the function is 2, the output is -6.

Hope this helps!
