Ellen takes a multiple-choice quiz that has 4 questions, with 3 answer choices for each question. What is the probability that she will get exactly 1 answer correct by guessing? Probabilities should be entered as fractions in simplest form, decimals rounded to the nearest thousandth, or percents rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The probability is  32/81, or  0.395 in decimal form

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question has 3 answers.

one of the answers is correct, and 2 are incorrect.

Then the probability of selecting at random the correct answer, is equal to the quotient between the number of correct answers and the total number of answers, this is:

p = 1/3.

Then the probability of answering wrong is:

q = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3.

Now, we want to find the probability of answering exactly one question correctly.

Let's suppose that Ellen answers correctly the first question, and incorrectly the other 3.

then we have the probability 1/3 one time, and the probability 2/3 3 times.

And as we know, the joint probability will be equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is:

P = (1/3)*(2/3)*(2/3)*(2/3).

But this is for the case where only the first one is answered correctly, we also have the cases where:

the 2nd is the only one answered correctly

the 3rd is the only one answered correctly

the 4th is the only one answered correctly.

Then we have 4 permutations, which means that the actual probability of answering only on question correctly is:

P' = 4*P = 4*(1/3)*(2/3)*(2/3)*(2/3) = (4*2*2*2)/(3*3*3*3) = 32/81 = 0.395

(-2x+y=8) minus (5x-y=6)

Answers

Answer:-7x+2y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2x+y=8)> this side change since it’s negative

(-2x+y=8) - (-5x+y=-6)

-7x+2y=2

x + y = 42, xy = 108 then what is x and y. Is there any (non-quadratic)formula for finding this instead of the process of elimination

Answers

Answer:

when x = 39.25, y = 2.75

when x = 2.75, x = 39.25

Step-by-step explanation:

use substitution method

x+y = 42 ------ (1)

xy = 108 ------ (2)

from (1) ,

x+y = 42

y = 42-x ------ (3)

substitute (3) into (2)

xy = 108

x( 42-x ) = 108

42x - x² = 108

-x² + 42x - 108 = 0

x² - 42x + 108 = 0

use the following formula to solve the value of x:

[tex]i) \: x = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \: \\ ii) \: x = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

a = 1

b = -42

c = 108

[tex]i) \: x = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - ( - 42) + \sqrt{( - 42) {}^{2} - 4(1)(108)} }{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + \sqrt{1764 - 432} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + \sqrt{1332} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + 6 \sqrt{37} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = 21 + 3 \sqrt{37} [/tex]

[tex]x = 39.25[/tex]

[tex]ii) \: x \: \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - ( - 42) - \sqrt{( - 42) {}^{2} - 4(1)(108} }{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - \sqrt{1764 - 432} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - \sqrt{1332} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - 6 \sqrt{37} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = 21 - 3 \sqrt{37} [/tex]

[tex]x = 2.75[/tex]

the 2 values of x are x = 39.25 and x = 2.75

substitute x = 39.25 into (3)

y = 42-x

y = 42-39.25

y = 2.75

substitute x = 2.75 into (3)

y = 42-x

y = 42-2.75

y = 39.25

when x = 39.25, y = 2.75

when x = 2.75, x = 39.25

Between the two, 60/25 most definitely would be the greater one of the two. Unless if you were intending 25/60, 60 divided by 25 gives you 2.4. 60/132 gives you 0.4545, so the 2.4 is greater.

Neil's regular wage is $ 11 per hour. He gets $ 15.50 per hour for overtime. He was paid for 160 regular hours and 50 hours of overtime. How much was his total paycheck?

Answers

Answer:

$2535

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the the pay he received for the regular hours worked.  To find this, you must multiply the hours worked by his wage.

$11 × 160 = $1760

Next find the the pay received for overtime.  Do the same process as above.

$15.50 × 50 = $775

Now that you have the pay for regular hours and overtime hours, add the two amounts together to find the amount for his total paycheck.

$1760 + $775 = $2535

Find the value of x and y​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this is an equilateral triangle so the right triangle’s hypotenuse is 40

to find x we need to use sin (which equals opposite of the angle over hypotenuse)

so

sin(x) = 20/40

sin(x) = 1/2

sin inverse(1/2) = x

x = 30°

Which theorem(s) can you use to prove that the two triangles are congruent?

Answers

Answer:

To prove the congruence between two triangles there are several postulates, that can be applied depending on the congruent parts of the triangles.

The postulates are:

SAS (Side-Angle-Side): This postulate states that if two triangles have two corresponding sides congruent and one corresponding angle congruent, we can conclude that those triangles are completely congruent.

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): This postulate states that if two triangles have two corresponding angles congruent and one corresponding side congruent, then those triangles are congruent.

SSS (Side-Side-Side): This postulate states that if two triangles have all three corresponding sides congruent, then triangles are congruent.

AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): If two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent and one pair of corresponding sides is congruent, then both triangle are congruent each other.

HL (Hypothenuse-Leg): this postulate is applied when we have right angles. It states that two right triangles are congruent if they have one pair of corresponding leg congruent, and the hypothenuses are also congruent. We could conclude that those right triangles are congruent.

From these postulate, we can demonstrate the congruence between two triangles. Then, from that congruence, we deduct the congruence between each corresponding parts of those triangles. For example, if we demonstrate the congruence by AAS, we deduct that the third angle is also congruent, and the other two sides are also congruent.

explanation:
2(6x+5)=58
you distribute the 2 to the 6x and the 5 making the problem:
12x+10=58
you would then subtract 10 from both sides of the equation then making the problem:
12x=48
since we are trying to get x alone we would then divide each side of the equation by 12 leaving you with

Each batch of 48 cookies that Amy makes takes 20 minutes in the oven. If the oven is on for 3 hours and 55 minutes (15 minutes for preheating), how many cookies did Amy bake?

Answers

Answer:

528 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

3 hours is 180 minutes

55 minutes - the 15 for preheating is 40 minutes

180 minutes + 40 minutes = 220 (total time she could've had cookies in the oven)

220 divided by 20 is 11 (total batches of cookies)

11 times 48 is 528

Sorry if my answer is confusing lol

The total number of cookies that Amy baked is 528 cookies.

What is the Subtraction operation?

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that deducts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.

for example 4 -2 = 2

To solve this problem, we need to convert the total time the oven was on (3 hours and 55 minutes) into minutes.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the total time the oven was on in minutes is : 3 hours x 60 minutes/hour + 55 minutes = 235 minutes.

We need to subtract the time the oven was preheating (15 minutes) from the total time the oven was on to get the time that was spent baking cookies. This gives us a total of 235 minutes - 15 minutes = 220 minutes of baking time.

Since each batch of cookies takes 20 minutes to bake, the number of batches of cookies that Amy baked is :

220 minutes / 20 minutes/batch = 11 batches.

Since each batch contains 48 cookies,

So, the total number of cookies that Amy baked is :

11 batches × 48 cookies/batch = 528 cookies.

Thus, Amy baked 528 cookies overall altogether.
