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)
Answer:-7x+2y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2x+y=8)-(5x-y=6)
(-2x+y=8)> this side change since it’s negative
(-2x+y=8) - (-5x+y=-6)
-7x+2y=2
A student found out that 8% ofthe students in his school are left-handed.If there are 114 lefties, how many students are in his school?
Answer: 1,425 students
Step-by-step explanation: This is easy to solve using proportions/
114/8 = ?/100
First, you cross multiply (or whatever this is called sry) 100x114=11400
Then divide 11400÷8=1,425

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
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

Jess earns 10 per hour babysitting. Her friend Sam earns $12.50 per hour. If Jess started with $5, how many hours will both friends need to work before they have the same amount of money.
Answer:
they have to work 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Jess has a $5+ x*$10
Sam has x*$12.5
where x-is number of hour worked
after x=1 hour
Jess has a $5+ 1*$10=$15
Sam has 1*$12.5= $12.5
afterx=2 hours
Jess has a $5+ 2*$10=$25
Sam has 2*$12.5=$25
between 60/25 and 60/132 1hich one is more bigger
Answer:
60/25 is greater than 60/132
Answer:
60/25
Step-by-step explanation:
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?
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

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?
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.

Answer:
4.83 * 10^9
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to express the given number in scientific notation
What we have to do here is to place the decimal number at the back of the first non zero number
The first non zero number is 4
So
let us count the number of digits after the first non zero number
That will be 9
So we make this the power of 10
And our answer will be;
4.83 *10^9

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?
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.
