Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B, I know this because I just took a test with this question lol

Answer 2

If 12 correct answers constitute a passing grade on a 20-item true-false exam, the probability that someone will pass is 1/2 if they are guessing.

What is meant by probability?Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is a mathematical branch that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value ranges from zero to one. Probability has been introduced in mathematics to predict the likelihood of events occurring. Probability = the number of possible paths to success. The total number of possibilities For example, the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads is 12, because there is only one way to get a head and there are two possible outcomes.

Therefore,

Let X denote the number of correctly answered questions out of a total of 20.

Bernoulli trails are formed by repeated coin tosses. Because the "head" on a coin represents the correct answer and the "tail" represents the incorrect answer, the questions that are correctly answered are Bernoulli trials.

[tex]$&\therefore \mathrm{p}=\frac{1}{2} \\[/tex]

[tex]&\therefore \mathrm{q}=1-\mathrm{p}=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

X follows a binomial distribution with n = 20 and p = 1/2

[tex]&\therefore P(X=x)={ }^n C_x q^{n-x} p^x \\[/tex]

[tex]&={ }^{20} C_x\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20-x} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x \\[/tex]

[tex]&={ }^{20} C_x\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}[/tex]

P ( at least 12 questions answered correctly )= P (X ≥ 12)

[tex]&=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=12)+\mathrm{P}[/tex][tex](\mathrm{X}=13)+\ldots+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=20) \\[/tex]

[tex]&={ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{12}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}+{ }^{20}[/tex][tex]\mathrm{C}_{13}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}+\ldots+{ }^{20}[/tex][tex]\mathrm{C}_{20}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20} \\[/tex]

[tex]&=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20} \cdot\left[{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{12}+{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{13}+\ldots+{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{20}\right][/tex]

Hence, If 12 correct answers constitute a passing grade on a 20-item true-false exam, the probability that someone will pass is 1/2 if they are guessing.

The complete question is:

In an examination, 20 questions of true-false type are asked. Suppose a student tosses a fair coin to determine his answer to each question. If the coin falls heads, he answers 'true', if it falls tails, he answers 'false'. Find the probability that he answers at least 12 questions correctly.

This table gives a few (x, y) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane. What is the y-intercept of the line?

Answers

Answer:

The Y-intercept is the Y value when X = 0.

Find the change in X:

-56 to -42 = 14

-42  to -28 = 14

The X value changes by 14.

For every change in X the Y change:

66-58 = 8

58-50 = 8

For X to get from -28 to 0 would be 2 more changes:

-28 +14 = -14

-14 + 14 = 0

2 more changes of Y would be:

50-8 = 42

42-8 = 34

So when X = 0, Y = 34

The Y-intercept would be (0,34)

Answers

Answer:

x < - 3/2  or x > 48/5  (option a in your list of answers)

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for x in each inequality:

12 x + 7 < -11

subtract 7 from both sides:

12 x < - 11 - 7

12 x < -18

divide both sides by 12 to isolate "x" on the left:

x < - 18 / 12

simplify a common factor 6 in numerator and denominator on the right:

x < - 3 / 2

Now the other inequality:

5 x - 8 > 40

add 8 to both sides:

5 x > 40 + 8

5 x > 48

divide both sides by 5:

x > 48 / 5

So the answer is:

x < - 3/2  or x > 48/5

Mr. Javier purchased a number of pencils for ₱180 and sold all except 6 at a profit of ₱2 per pencil. With the total amount received, he could buy 30 more items than before. Find the number of items he bought and the cost of each in pesos

Answers

Answer:

36 pencils

[tex]Cost = 0.2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost Price = 180

Represent the number of items by x

This implies that the cost of each item is [tex]\frac{x}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = Cost + Profit[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = \frac{x}{180} + 2[/tex]

Since all but 6 items were sold, the total selling price is:

[tex]Total = (x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2)[/tex]

This amount can be used to buy 30 more items.

So, we have:

[tex](x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2) = x + 30[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 180

[tex]180 * (x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2) =180(x + 30)[/tex]

[tex](x - 6)(x + 360) = 180x + 5400[/tex]

Expand brackets

[tex]x\² + 360x - 6x - 2160 = 180x + 5400[/tex]

[tex]x\² + 354x - 2160 = 180x + 5400[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]x\² + 354x - 180x - 2160 - 5400 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x\² + 174x - 7560 = 0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x\² + 210x - 36x - 7560 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x(x + 210) - 36(x + 210) = 0[/tex]

[tex](x - 36)(x + 210) = 0[/tex]

[tex]x - 36 = 0[/tex] or [tex]x + 210 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = 36[/tex] or [tex]x = -210[/tex]

Since, number of items can't be negative, we have to discard x = -210.

Hence:

[tex]x = 36[/tex]

We can then conclude that, Mr. Javier purchased 36 pencils

Recall that

[tex]Cost = \frac{x}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Cost = \frac{36}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 0.2[/tex]

estimate the quotient of 9 1/3 ÷ 2 3/4

Answers

The estimated quotient is 3. This is because 9 1/3 rounds to nine and 2 3/4 rounds to 3.

Answer:

The quotient gives: 3  13/33

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions, since we can easily divide fractions.

the number 9 1/3  can be written as: 27/3 + 1/3 = 28/3

the number 2 3/4 can be written as: 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4

Now we can divide them using the properties of dividing fractions:

28/3 divided by 11/4 = 28/3 * 4/11 = 112/33

which in mixed number form is : 99/33 + 13/33 = 3  13/33

10. Suppose that we have 50 balls labeled 0 through 49 in a bucket. What is the minimum number of balls that we need to draw to ensure that we get at least 3 balls which end with the same digit

Answers

Answer:

21 drawings

Step-by-step explanation:

The number labelings are 0 - 49

The minimum set that could be the same number is the labeling 0, 10 , 20

It could also be 1, 11, 21 or even 2,12,22

In all the cases, we can be sure that we might have three labelings ending with the same number when we pull our ball labeled 20

That makes a total of 21 drawings

Following are the response to the given question:

Pigeon Hole's Principle can also be used to tackle this problem. Assuming that we already have labels ranging from [tex]0\ to\ 49.[/tex]

We possess five balls which conclude with the number 0 [tex]\text{(ball \ 0, ball\ 10, ball\ 20, ball\ 30, and\ ball\ 40)}.[/tex] We possess five balls which conclude with the digit 1[tex]\bold{(ball\ 1, ball\ 11, ball\ 21, ball\ 31, ball\ 41)}.[/tex] .....I have five balls that end in the number 9 [tex]\text{(ball\ 9, ball\ 19, ball\ 29, ball\ 39, and ball\ 49)}.[/tex]

Each digit ending is represented by five balls.

In the pigeonhole principle, it [tex]kn+1[/tex] objects [tex](k \geq 1)[/tex] are distributed among n boxes, one of the boxes will contain at least [tex]k+1[/tex] objects. Assume that you draw a ball and place it in a box labeled with its last digit. So there will be n = 10 boxes.

Box 0: we place balls that end in the digit 0. Box 1: we place balls that end in the digit 1. .....Box 9 is where we put balls that end in the number 9.

According to the pigeon hole concept, you need to draw [tex]kn+1[/tex] balls to assure that at least one of the boxes includes [tex]k+1[/tex] objects. Because [tex]k+1 = 3,[/tex] we require three objects in at least one box (we need three balls ending with the same digit).

[tex]k + 1 = 3 \\\\k =2[/tex]

Therefore, we have to draw [tex]kn+1[/tex] balls, [tex]k = 2, n = 10[/tex], at least[tex]21\ balls[/tex] must be drawn to ensure that at least three of them have the same 1 digit.

The regular admission price for an amusement park is $72. For a group of 15, or more, the admission price is reduce by $25 per person. How many people need to be in a group to save $500?

Answers

Answer:  20 people

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

Explanation:

x = number of people

Without the discount, each person pays $72, so the total cost is 72x dollars if x people go through the gate individually.

Now applying the group discount, those x people pay 72-25 = 47 dollars each. Meaning the total cost is now 47x. Keep in mind that [tex]x \ge 15[/tex] in order for the discount to kick in.

Subtracting the two amounts leads to 72x-47x = 25x. It is not a coincidence that we get a coefficient of 25 here.

Set this equal to 500 and solve for x

25x = 500

x = 500/25

x = 20

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

If x = 20 people attend individually, then they pay 72*x = 72*20 = 1440 dollars.

If 20 people go as one group, they pay 47x = 47*20 = 940 dollars

We have a savings of 1440-940 = 500 dollars. This confirms the answer.

All 20 people must go as one group if they want to save $500.

To subtract means to take away from a group or a number of things.

Given that Ms. Smith bought a 5 pound bag of candy for her 6th grade classroom. She gave away 2 pounds of candy to her students during the first unit of instructions and ate 6 ounces of candy during planning.

1 pound = 16 ounces

She gave away 2 out of 5 pounds, so she is left with 5 - 2 = 3 pounds

3 pounds = 16*3 ounces = 48 ounces

She ate 6 ounces of candy

Therefore, she now has, 48 - 6 = 42 ounces of candies left with her.

Hence, Ms. Smith still have 42 ounces of candy in her bag.
