Answer:

1.66479*10^(-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

to get 70% correct question out of 20 the student have correct 14 questions correct.

probability of getting answer correct p= 1/5=0.2

probability of getting answer wrong q= 4/5=0.8

its case of binomial distribution where

n= 20, r= 14 , p= 0.2 and q= 0.8

therefore

[tex]_{20}^{14}\textrm{C}\times 0.2^{14}\times0.8^{6}[\tex]

solving we get

1.66479*10^(-6)

The probability would be 0.000017.

70% of the 20 questions is 14 questions correct.  Using a binomial distribution for this, we have:

_{20}C_{14}(0.2)^{14}\times (1-0.2)^{20-14}
\\
\\ \frac{20!}{14!6!}\times (0.2)^{14} \times (0.8)^6
\\
\\ \approx 0.000017

madreJ [45]
What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
 We have then
 y = a (b) ^ x
 Where we have:
 Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
 a = 5
 Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
 b = 2
 The function is:
 y = 5 (2) ^ x
 The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
 Check:
 y = 5 (2) ^ 8
 y = 1280
 Answer:
 An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
 y = 5 (2) ^ x
 The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
 8 weeks

A rectangular floor tile is shown it dimensions are given to the nearest 0.1 metres the tile is only able to sustain maximum pre
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

736 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangular tile are:

Length = 2.3m

Width = 1.6m

The pressure exerted on a surface is given by the formula

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

p is the pressure

F is the force exerted

A is the area on which the force is exerted

In this problem, we have:

p=200 N/m^2 is the maximum pressure that the tile is able to sustain

A is the area of the tile, which can be calculated as the product between length and width, so:

A=L\cdot w =(2.3)(1.6)=3.68 m^2

Re-arranging the formula for F, we can find the maximum force that can be safely applied to the tile:

F=pA=(200)(3.68)=736 N

Kyle and Cooper are driving. Kyle drives 5 mph faster than Cooper. The same amount of time of Kyle drives 87.1 miles Cooper driv
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

  • Kyle, 67 mph
  • Cooper, 62 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Their difference in distance is 87.1 -80.6 = 6.5 miles. Since their difference in speed is 5 mph, it took them (6.5 mi)/(5 mi/h) = 1.3 hours to achieve that separation.

Kyle's speed is 87.1 mi/(1.3 h) = 67 mi/h.

Cooper's speed is 80.6 mi/(1.3 h) = 62 mi/h. (5 mi/h slower)

Kyle is driving 67 mph; Cooper is driving 62 mph.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The ratio of their speeds is 87.1/80.6 = 67/62. The difference in ratio units happens to equal their difference in miles per hour, so their speeds must be 67 and 62 miles per hour.
