A multiple choice test has two parts. There are 4^12 ways to answer the 12 questions in Part A. There are 4^5 ways to answer the

5 questions on part B. How many ways are there to answer all 17 questions? If you guess each answer, what is the probability you will get them all right

Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem and the probability concept, it is found that:

  • There are 4^{17} ways to answer all 17 questions.
  • 4^{-17} probability you will get them all right.

<h3>What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?</h3>
  • It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:

N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>
  • A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

  • The questions in part A and in part B are independent.
  • For the 12 questions in part A, there are 4^{12} ways to answer, hence n_1 = 4^{12}.
  • For the 5 questions in part B, there are 4^{5} ways to answer, hence n_2 = 4^{5}.

Then:

N = n_1 \times n_2 = 4^{12} \times 4^5 = 4^{17}

There are 4^{17} ways to answer all 17 questions.

Only one outcome in which all the guesses are correct, hence:

p = \frac{1}{4^{17}} = 4^{-17} probability you will get them all right.

With a beginning balance of $2500 and no additional charges, there is no grace-period, you will just pay the minimum payment eac
valkas [14]

Answer:

a = $31.23 per month

b = $20.83 per month

c = 249.98 = $249.98 interest charges

                   = $624-249.98 = 374.02 profit part decrease 8% inc.                  

d = 35.35%

e = Answer is in the name; basic payment is a contract which means whilst account remains open charges are requested without fail. Should balance be less or on zero, charges are still applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

2500 x 1.2499 = interest only for start month 13 =3124.75

3124.75/ 100 x 1.08   = 8% of this = 249.98 each year.

We only have to divide each by 12 to work out monthly individual charges and subtract to find out payments.

3124.75 - 249.98 = 2874.77 = Total after charges each year.

249.98/12 = 20.83 = monthly charges.

3124.75- 2500 = 624.75 payments each year

624.75/12 = 52.06 month 1 payment before charge

52.06-20.83 =31.23 total minimum payment

2500 + 249.98

Percentage = 200:600 = 1/3 33% + (comparing to ratio 10:25 closer to 40%)

We find ratio 200:600= 33.33 + 49.995/24.75 = 2.02

33+2.02 = 35.35%

Find the product of the monomial and the polynomial. 4a^2b^3*(9a^4b^2-4a^2+3)
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4a² b³ * (9a⁴b² - 4a² + 3) = 4a²b³ * 9a⁴b² - 4a²b³*4a² + 4a²b³*3

                                        = 36a²⁺⁴ b³⁺²  -16a²⁺²b³ + 12a²b³

                                         = 36a⁶b⁵ - 16a⁴b³ + 12a²b³
