Answer:

a) The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B = 11 (7 + 4).

b) The Variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B = 2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of questions in the examination = 10

Probability of A's answer being correct = 0.7

Probability of B's answer being correct = 0.4

The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B:

           Probability of       Expected        

        Correct Answer       Value          Variance

A              0.7                     7 (0.7 * 10)    2.25

B              0.4                     4 (0.4 * 10)    2.25

Total expected value =    11

           Mean =                  5.5                2.25

A pile of 10000 sheets of paper is 85cm thick. What is the thickness of 1 sheet of paper?
vodka [1.7K]
To find the thickness of one paper, you set up proportions. 10,000 sheets/85 cm=1 sheet/ x cm. Then you cross multiply and get,
85=10,000x
Then find x,
x=.0085
Or .0085 cm
Another way to find it is just to divide 85 by 10,000 from the start because you need to find the thickness of one paper, not ten thousand. 
Hope this helps.

NYM

AA

Step-by-step explanation:  I DID IT ON EDGE! : )

We know that side NM is  _________________

✔ parallel

to side XZ. If we consider side NY the transversal for these parallel lines, we create angle pairs. Using the  _____________

✔ corresponding angles theorem

, we can state that ∠YXZ is congruent to ∠YNM. We know that angle XYZ is congruent to angle  _____________

✔ NYM

by the reflexive property. Therefore, triangle XYZ is similar to triangle NYM by the  _____________

✔ AA

 similarity theorem.
