Suppose an test consisted of 10 multiple choice problems, each with five possible responses (A-E), only 1 of which is correct. If a student randomly guesses the answers to each question then what is the probability that a student guesses the correct answer to exactly 7 questions?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]10C_{7}\times (0.2)^{7} \times (0.8)^{3}\\[/tex]

Answer 2

The probability that a student guesses the correct answer to exactly 7 questions is 0.004.

What is binomial probability?

The probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials in an experiment which has two possible outcomes is called binomial probability.

Binomial probability formula

[tex]P_{x} =nC_{x} P^{x} q^{n-x}[/tex]

where,

P is binomial probability

x is number of times for a specific outcome within n trials

[tex]nC_{x}[/tex] number of combinations

p is probability of success on a single trial

q is probability of failure on a single trial

n is number of trials

According to the given question.

A test consisted of 10 multiple choices.

⇒ Number of trials,  n = 10

The student have to give exactly 7 correct answers.

⇒ x = 7

The probability of being correct in one trial, p = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]    

(only one option is correct among fives)

So, the probability of being incorrect/wrong in one trial, q = [tex]1-\frac{1}{5} =\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a student guesses the correct answer to exactly 7 questions is given by

[tex]P_{x} = 10C_{7} (\frac{1}{5}) ^{7} (\frac{4}{5} )^{3}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]P_{x} = \frac{10!}{7!3!} (0.2)^{7}( 0.8)^{3}[/tex]

⇒[tex]P_{x} = 120(0.0000128)(0.512)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]P_{x} =0.004[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a student guesses the correct answer to exactly 7 questions is 0.004.

At a movie rental machine the movies rent for $3.00 except on Tuesdays when they rent for $0.49 Appoximately what percent of the regular cost is saved by renting a movie on a Tueday

Answers

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what percent of the regular cost is saved by renting a movie on a Tuesday, we must do 0.49/3.00. This helps us find the decimal point to convert into a percentage. 0.49/3.00 is equal to 0.163333333333 . And 0.163333333333  converted into a percentage is approximately 16%.

Complete the blanks

1. V is the [tex]midpoint[/tex] of |E, [tex]\angle I \cong \angle E[/tex] ---- This statement was stated in the question.

So, the reason is Given

2. Midpoint means halfway. So, we can fill the statement column with:

[tex]IV \cong VE[/tex] --- because V is the midpoint of IV and VE

or [tex]GV \cong VR[/tex] --- because V is the midpoint of GV and VR

3. Vertical angle are congruent. So, the statement is:

[tex]\angle GVI \cong \angle RVE[/tex] which means that angles at V are congruent

4. We have:

[tex]\triangle GVI \cong \triangle RVE[/tex] because

[tex]\angle GVI \cong \angle RVE[/tex] --- congruent angles (A)

[tex]IV \cong VE[/tex] ---- congruent sides (S)

[tex]\angle GIV \cong \angle REV[/tex]  --- congruent angles (A)

The above implies that: [tex]\triangle GVI \cong \triangle RVE[/tex] because of ASA congruence

5. CPCTC is true here because GV and VR are corresponding sides of triangles GVI and RVE. ---- [tex]\triangle GVI \cong \triangle RVE[/tex]

Hence, both sides are congruent ----[tex]GV \cong VR[/tex]

Which function is continuous across its domain?

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

a function is continuous, if the functional values are the same at the "connection" points of the various segments (and the segments themselves are continuous).

"continuous" simply means that the graph of the function is a continuous line without any "rips". it can have corners and such, but no "interruptions".

specifically it means : for every possible y value in the defined range of the function there is an x value that causes this y.

all defined segments are continuous functions.

so, let's look at

A. the first connection point is x=-2.

-2 + 6 = 0.5×(-2)²

4 = 0.5×4 = 2

4 = 2 is wrong. => here, at this point, the function "rips" apart and is not continuous.

B. x=-2

-2 + 4 = 0.5×(-2)²

2 = 2 is correct. continuous at this point.

second connection point x=4

0.5×4² = 20 - 3×4

0.5×16 = 20 - 12

8 = 8 is correct. continuous at this point

C. x=-2

-2 - 2 = 0.5×(-2)²

-4 = 2 is wrong. not continuous

D. x=-2

-2 + 4 = 0.5×(-2)²

2 = 2 is correct. continuous here.

now for x=4

4 + 4 = 25 - 3×4

8 = 25 - 12 = 13

8 = 13 is wrong. not continuous.

1b) Does any player have a dominant strategy in this game? Explain.
1c) Find all Nash Equilibria in pure strategies of this game.
1d) Is there any Nash Equilibria in mixed strategies?

Answers

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

For point a:

When Player A selects Top, Player B selects Left or Right.

Player B selects Right when player A selects Bottom

Thus, player B's best statement is correct.

When player B selects the left, then game A selects the top

When player B selects the right, player A selects the top

Hence, Player A's right response is Top.

For point b:

The main strategy inside the game is Player A, which would be Top. Since he won't choose Below except under situations since the payment to Bottom is below his payoff for Top irrespective of player B.

For point c:

Player A will purely pick Top & Player B right and player A also will pick Top and player B is right. Game A will's pattern. In this case, neither player has the motive to move away. There are two Nash balances since player B is paid the same amount, irrespective of what he's playing any strategy, as player A is always at the top.

For point d:

Consider if player B plays left with "q" probability and right with "1-q" probability. We're done

[tex]2q + 2(1-q) = 3q+4(1-q) \\\\2(1-q) - 4(1-q) = 3q - 2q \\\\-2(1 - q) = q \\\\-2 + 2q = q \\\\2q-q= 2 \\\\q= 2\\[/tex]

It is not possible since q is a chance that really can exceed 1. Hence, for this game, there is no mixed strategy nash balancing.

A private university is accepting applications for enrollment.Out of 2,000 applicants,950 meet the GPA requirements,600 volunteer for community service,and 250 both meet the GPA requirements and volunteer.Which statement correctly describes the probability that an applicant meets the GPA requirements or volunteers?

A: Because some applicants volunteer and meet the GPA requirements, the events are mutually exclusive.Thus, the probability is 65%.

B: Because some applicants volunteer and meet the GPA requirements, the events are not mutually exclusive.Thus, the probability is 65%.

C: Because some applicants volunteer and meet the GPA requirements, the events are not mutually exclusive.Thus, the probability is 77.5%.

Answers

Answer:

It is B - Because some applicants volunteer and meet the GPA requirements, the events are not mutually exclusive.Thus, the probability is 65%.

>3

Answer:  Choice B

Because some applicants volunteer and meet the GPA requirements, the events are not mutually exclusive.

Thus, the probability is 65%.

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

Explanation:

950 people meet the GPA requirements. Also, 250 both meet the GPA requirements and volunteer. This must mean 950-250 = 700 people only meet the GPA requirements, but don't volunteer. Let A = 700.

600 people volunteer. 250 both meet the GPA requirements and volunteer. This must mean 600-250 = 350 people volunteer only (ie they don't meet the GPA requirements). Let B = 350

Let C = 250 to represent the number who meet the GPA requirements and volunteer.

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

In summary we found that,

A = 700 people meet the GPA requirements only (they don't volunteer)B = 350 people volunteer only (they don't meet the GPA requirements)C = 250 people both meet the GPA requirements and volunteer

That means A+B+C = 700+350+250 = 1300 people either meet the GPA requirements, volunteer, or both. This is out of 2000 people

1300/2000 = 13/20 = 0.65 = 65%

That calculation tells us that 65% of the 2000 applicants fit the conditions we're after. So that's the probability of randomly selecting someone to fit those conditions.

Because the value of C is not zero, this means we don't have mutually exclusive events. It's possible that someone fits both criteria. Mutually exclusive events cannot happen at the same time.

In other words, if we did have mutually exclusive events, then someone couldn't both meet the GPA requirements and volunteer at the same time (they would have to pick one or the other but not both).
