Layla guesses on all 20 questions of a multiple-choice test. Each question has 4 answer choices. What is the probability of a success and a failure for this experiment?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the criteria for success ? how many questions must be right ? and how many must be wrong for failure ?

if success means all answers right, then she has 4 choices on the first question to pick one right answer. and then for each of those again 4 choices on the second question and so on.

so, all possible outcomes are 4²⁰.

that means the probability to guess all 20 right is

1/4²⁰

a tiny, tiny number.

and the probabilty to have all wrong ?

she has 4 choices to pick 1 of 3 wrong answers.

so, the probability is 3/4 to answer the first question wrong.

for that she has again then the same chance to get the second question wrong too.

so, it is 3/4 × 3/4 = 9/16

and so on.

the probability to guess all 20 wrong is then

(3/4)²⁰ ≈ 0.0032

that is still a small number but much, much larger than the probability to get everything right.

still, even the goal to truly get everything wrong is highly unlikely.

How far does P move before it returns to its initial position?

Answers

Answer:

P moves = 70.73 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Radius = 38

initial position of P = ( 38,0 )

initial position of center S = ( 14,0)

position of P ( after s moved counterclockwise )

:  x = 14cost + 24cos(7/12t)

  y = 14sint - 24sin(7/12t)

Determine how far P moves before returning to its initial position

attached below  is the solution

P moves = 70.74 m

Answer:

D: y = 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. [tex]\frac{16-8}{9-5}[/tex] = 2

2. y = 2x + b

3. Insert the points into the equation: 8 = 10 + b

4. b = -2

5. y = 2x - 2

Answer:  Choice D)  y = 2x-2

=======================================================

Explanation:

Apply the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (16-8)/(9-5)

m = 8/4

m = 2

Then use this slope, along with another point such as (x,y) = (5,8) to find b

y = mx+b

8 = 2*5+b

8 = 10+b

8-10 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

Or you could use the other point (x,y) = (9,16)

y = mx+b

16 = 2*9+b

16 = 18+b

16-18 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

Either way, we get the same y intercept.

So because m = 2 is the slope and b = -2 is the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = 2x-2

-------------------

To help verify the answer, note how plugging x = 5 leads us to...

y = 2x-2

y = 2*5 - 2

y = 10-2

y = 8

So x = 5 and y = 8 pair up together. This verifies (5,8) is on the line.

Through similar steps, you should find that the input x = 9 leads to the output y = 16. So that would confirm (9,16) is also on the line, and fully confirm the answer.

Answer:

  C.  159°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle at B is half the difference of the measures of the arcs it intercepts:

  (3x +19)° = 1/2((17x -3)° -91°)

  6x +38 = 17x -94 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2, divide by °

  132 = 11x . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 94-6x

  x = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 11

Then long arc AD is ...

  arc AD = (17(12) -3)° = 201°

Arc DCA is the rest of the circle:

  arc DCA = 360° -201° = 159°

b. 600
c. 50

Answers

Answer:

[tex]MSE = 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]SSTR = 200[/tex]

[tex]SST = 800[/tex]

Required

Determine MSE

This is calculated as:

[tex]MSE = \frac{1}{ddf} * SSE[/tex]

Where:

[tex]SSE = SST - SSTR[/tex]

[tex]ddf \to[/tex] denominator df

So, we have:

[tex]SSE = 800 - 200[/tex]

[tex]SSE = 600[/tex]

To calculate the df, we have:

[tex]r = 13[/tex] --- observations

[tex]n = 5[/tex] treatments

So:

[tex]ddf = Total\ df - Numerator\ df[/tex]

[tex]Total = n*r-1 = 5*13 -1 = 64[/tex]

[tex]Numerator =n - 1 = 5 - 1 =4[/tex]

[tex]ddf =64-4=60[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]MSE = \frac{1}{ddf} * SSE[/tex]

[tex]MSE = \frac{1}{60} * 600[/tex]

[tex]MSE = 10[/tex]

C. As x approaches positive infinity, g(x) approaches positive infinity.
D. As x approaches negative infinity, g(x) is no longer continuous.

Answers

Answer:

C. As x approaches positive infinity, g(x) approaches positive infinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function:

[tex]g(x) = \frac{|x-3|}{2} - 7[/tex]

End behavior:

Limit of g(x) as x goes to negative and positive infinity.

Negative infinity:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} g(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} \frac{|x-3|}{2} - 7 = \frac{|-\infty-3|}{2} - 7 = |-\infty| = \infty[/tex]

Positive infinity:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} g(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{|x-3|}{2} - 7 = \frac{|\infty-3|}{2} - 7 = |\infty| = \infty[/tex]

So in both cases, it approaches positive infinity, and so the correct option is c.

Answer:

  sin(θ) = (-7√65)/65

  csc(θ) = (-√65)/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle will have the given characteristics if its terminal ray passes through the 3rd-quadrant point (-4, -7). The distance from the origin to that point is ...

  d = √((-4)² +(-7)²) = √65

The sine of the angle is the ratio of the y-coordinate to this value:

  sin(θ) = -7/√65

  sin(θ) = (-7√65)/65

The cosecant is the inverse of the sine

  csc(θ) = (-√65)/7

A restaurant sold 250 drinks in a night. Some of the drinks were sold for $2 each, and the rest for $5 each. If the total sales of drinks for the night was $830, how many $2 drinks were sold?

110
140
145
150
155

?

Answers

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

x drinks were sold for 2$

y drinks were sold for 5$

therefore, x+y = 250....( 1 )

and 2x+5y = 830......( 2 )

multiply equation ( 1 ) with 2,

2x+2y = 500......( 3 )

Subtract equation ( 3) from (2)

3y = 330

or, y = 110

so, x = 140

so, 140 drinks were sold for 2$

140 drinks were sold for $2.

What are variables and how to define them?

A variable is any letter or symbol that represents a number with an unknown value.

We can define them simply by any alphabet like x or y.

What are linear equations and how to make them?

A linear equation is generally of the form Ax + By = C, where the two variables are x and y, while A, B and C are constants.

A constant is a value or number that never changes and it's constantly the same.

We have to choose our variables and put them in the equation such that it holds properly and satisfies all the conditions for the given question.

How to solve linear equations?

There are several methods of solving linear equations. we may have the linear equation with two or three or many variables. The methods are:

substitution method,elimination method,graphing method.

In the given question first, let's make our variables.

Let, the number of drinks was sold for 2$ is x, and the number of drinks was sold for 5$ is y.

And now we will try to make the linear equation with two variables because we have two variables satisfying the conditions in the question given.

One thing to remember carefully is that we have to have two equations if we have two variables.

The restaurant sold a total of 250 drinks so we can write,

x + y = 250  

The total sales of drinks for the night was $830 so again we can write,

2x + 5y = 830

Now, we have made the two equations, so we will solve them with help of the substitution method.

Let's, take the equation and just find the value of x,

x + y = 250

x = 250 - y

Now, we will substitute the value of x in the other equation,

2×(250 - y) +5y = 830

Multiplying 2 with the term (250 - y),

500 - 2y + 5y = 830

Now, solve for y,

500 +3y = 830

subtracting 500 both sides we get,

500 - 500 + 3y = 830 - 500

3y = 330

Dividing both sides by 3 we get,

(3y) / 3 = 330 / 3

y = 110

Now, again putting the value of y in the equation x + y = 250 we get,

x + 110 = 250

Subtracting 110 both sides we get,

x + 110 - 110 = 250- 110

x = 140

Now, we can conclude that the number of drinks sold for 2$ is 140 and the number of drinks sold for 5$ is 110.

Therefore, 140 drinks were sold for $2.

In the equation y = 39x + 50represents the number of people at a holiday dinner and y represents the total cost of
the dinner. If a family spent $518, how many people attended the dinner?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people = y = 39x+50

Total amount spent y = 518

Solution:

The equation for the number of people who attended the dinner

y = 39x+50

The cost of dinner is equally divided by number of people =

then, 518 = y

placing value, 518 = 39x+50

x = (518-50)/39

= 468/39

= 12

Then number of people attended the dinner = 12
