Find the indicated probabilities.
A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?
B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?
C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?
Then use the fact that P(r1) = 1 P(r = 0).
D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct

This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

10 questions.

This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?

This is [tex]P(X = 10)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024[/tex]

0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?

None correctly, so [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]

0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

Since [tex]P(X = 0) = 0.1074[/tex], from item b.

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926[/tex]

0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328[/tex]

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Please do not tell me the answer tell me how to do it with showing my work

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

2.64÷3.3  ( said  2.64 divided by 3.3)

3.3√2.64  ( yes I know it's not the division sign but it's as close as we can get)

2.64 / 3.3

All three representations  are the same. each say  divide 2.64 by 3.3. If you're thinking that last one looks more like a fraction, you're right, but.. that's also what that means.   I'm showing these different ways to express the idea of division b/c it's part of what is involved with showing the work and understanding it.

so, to do the above let's move the decimal point to the right .. and do we want to move it one or two places.  :?  one because of 3.3 or two , because of 2.64, well we want to move it so we don't have to think about it in the problem... so move it the biggest amount that you need to, get the the decimil out of both numbers.. since the 2.64 needs two moves to the right of the decimal... use 100 times  to move it 2 places, If you needed 3 then use 1000, 4 , 10,000 ect ect... see the pattern?

so

100(3.3 √ 2.64 )

move the decimal point in both 2 places right

330.0 √ 264.0

I put the extra zeros in, just so you can see the decimal easy.  The zeros to the right of the decimal make no difference here.

now I'll know to put the number that I use to divde with above the zero,  of 264.0  .. and i'll think about how many times 3 goes into 26 ,without going over.  3*8 = 24 so I want an 8

    ↓ ←   ←  ← 0.8

330.0 √ 264.0      ( multiply  8 * 330 = 2640 )

    ↓ →   -264 .0      ( subtract 2640 from the number above )

                       0

you are done with that one, since there is zero left over and   0.8 is the answer

b)

0.324 ÷ 0.27

0.27 √ 0.324

0324 / 0.27

1000( 0.27 √ 0.324)

270 √ 324.0

  ↓  ←  ←  1.2

270 √ 324.0

 ↓→   - 270   ( multiply by the 1 )

 ↓    =      54

 ↓→       - 540  (multiply by the 2 )

                  0

since there is zero left over you are done. The answer is  1.2

C)

0.32 ÷ 0.16

0.16 √ 0.32

100(0.32 / 0.16)

↓ ←   2

16 √32

↓→  -32  ( multiply 16 * 2 = 32 )

         0

zero left over you are done.  the answer is 2 :)

d)

16.92 ÷ 9.4

9.4 √ 16.92

100(16.92 / 9.4)

  ↓   ←  ←  1.8

940 √1692.0

 ↓→→ - 940       (multiply by 1 )

 ↓        7520

 ↓→  -  7520      (multiply by 8 )

                 0

since there is zero left you are done,  The answer is  1.8

that was a lot, really nobody has talked or told you how to do this before?  

where is your teacher?  :/

How was Franklin D. Roosevelt a lasting impact even on today's society​

Answers

Answer:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, often referred to by his initials FDR, was an American politician who served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. A member of the Democratic Party, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the first half of the 20th century. Roosevelt directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the New Deal Coalition, which defined modern liberalism in the United States throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II, which ended shortly after he died in office.

Step-by-step explanation:

to this ‘Great Man Theory’ it can be said that Franklin Delano Roosevelt upheld his victorious and highly regarded government through means of social, economic and political reforms, as well as ambitious personal and strategic decisions that have successfully remained influential to American society today and maintained his image as a prominent historic leader.

In a pre-election poll, 58% of a large random sample of voters responded as planning to vote for the school enhancement millage. A 95% confidence interval was computed for the proportion of all such voters who plan to vote for the school enhancement millage. Review each of the following statements regarding the meaning of the 95% confidence level. Determine if it is a correct (true) meaning or incorrect (false).

Answers

Answer: Hello the statement related to your question is missing attached below is the statement

answer : The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false

This is because a confidence interval gives a range of values for an unknown parameter.

A 95% confidence interval is calculated and it gives a lower and upper limit in which the 58% of the voters can fall into i.e. The 58% of voters can fall within the upper and lower limit of the 95% confidence interval and not exactly 95% . Hence the statement is false.

commas:
It is OK to round your value(s) to to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)  = 2x² + 14x - 4

= 2(x² + 7x) - 4

= 2(x² +7x + 3.5²) - 2(3.5²) - 4

= 2(x+3.5)² - 28.5

vertex (3.5, -28.5) = (7/2, -57/2)

The vertical intercept is the y-intercept, i.e., f(0) = -4.

The x-intercepts are the values of x for which y=0.

2x² + 14x - 4  = 0

x = [-14±√(14²-4(2)(-4))]/[2(2)] = [-7±√57]/2 ≅ -7.27, 0.27
