Richard has just been given a 4-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. each question has four answers, of which only one is correct. since richard has not attended class recently, he doesn't know any of the answers. assuming that richard guesses on all four questions, find the indicated probabilities. (round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) what is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly

Answers

Answer 1

The probability of answering all the question correctly is [tex]\boxed{\bf \dfrac{1}{256}}[/tex]

Further Explanation:

Given:

The total number of question is [tex]4[/tex].

Each question has [tex]4[/tex] options and one is correct.

Concept used:

Probability is defined as the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to number of total outcomes.

[tex]\boxed{\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}}[/tex]

Calculation:

The probability of getting the correct answer is calculated as follows:

[tex]\begin{aligned}P&=\dfrac{1}{4}\\&=0.25\end{aligned}[/tex]

The probability of getting the incorrect answer is calculated as follows:

[tex]\begin{aligned}P&=1-\dfrac{1}{4}\\&=1-0.25\\&=0.75\end{aligned}[/tex]

The formula for probability of answering all question correctly is as follows:

[tex]\boxed{P'=^nC_{r}P^{r}(1-P)^{n-r}}[/tex]

Here, [tex]n[/tex] is number of question and [tex]r[/tex] is number of correct answer, [tex]P'[/tex] is the probability of answering all question correctly.

Solve the above equation to obtain probability of answer all question correctly.

Substitute [tex]4[/tex] for [tex]n[/tex], [tex]0.25[/tex] for [tex]P[/tex] and [tex]4[/tex] for [tex]r[/tex] in above equation to obtain probability of answering all question correctly.

[tex]\begin{aligned}P'&=^4C_{4}(0.25)^{4}(1-0.25)^{4-4}\\&=\dfrac{4!}{(4-4)!\cdot 4!}\left(\dfrac{25}{100}\right)^{4}(0.75)^{0}\\&=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{4}\\&=\dfrac{1}{256}\end{aligned}[/tex]  

Therefore, the probability of the correct answer is [tex]0.25[/tex].

The probability of the incorrect answer is [tex]0.75[/tex].

The probability of answering all question correctly is [tex]\dfrac{1}{256}[/tex].

Thus, the probability of answering all question correctly is [tex]\boxed{\dfrac{1}{256}}[/tex].

Answer 2
Final answer:

The probability that Richard will answer all four questions correctly is 0.004.

Explanation:

The probability that Richard will answer all four questions correctly can be determined by multiplying the probability of getting one question correct by itself for each question. Since each question has four answer choices and only one is correct, the probability of guessing the correct answer for one question is 1/4.

Therefore, the probability of Richard answering all four questions correctly is (1/4) * (1/4) * (1/4) * (1/4) = 1/256. Rounded to three decimal places, this probability is approximately 0.004.

Thus, the probability that Richard will answer all questions correctly is 0.004.

Two friends left school at the same time and drove in opposite directions. One friend averages 40 miles per hour and the other friend averages 35 miles per hour. when will they be 150 miles apart?

Answers

Therefore, the two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours.

Answer:

The two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The two friends left the school at the same time and drove in opposite directions. One of them have a speed of 40 miles per hour while the other have a speed of 35 miles per hour .

The both of them are moving apart at the rate  = 40 + 35 = 75 miles per hour

let

t = time at which they are 150 miles apart

speed = distance/time

time  = distance/speed

time = 150/75

time = 2 hours

The two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours

A building has an entry the shape of a parabolic arch 96 ft high and 18 ft wide at the base, as shown below. Find an equation for the parabola if the vertex is put at the origin of the coordinate system

Answers

To determine the equation of the parabola of the arch, we need to know the general equation for a parabola and its elements. The arch is facing down so the general equation written in its vertex form would be as follows:

y - k =  - a(x - h)^2

where (h,k) represents the vertex of the parabola and a represents the focus and tells you where the graph opens. If a is positive then it opens upward and if its is negative, it opens downward. 

For this given situation, the vertex is at point (0,0) or at the origin so that h and k are zero.

y=  - a(x)^2

To determine the value of a, we use the measurements given above. We make use of the maximum height and the span of the parabola. The point we will be using would be  (18/2 , 96 ).
 
y=  - a(x)^2
96=  - a(9)^2
a = -32/27

So, the equation of the parabola would be 
y=  - (32/27)(x)^2

The equation of the parabola if the vertex is put at the origin of the coordinate system is y =-32/27x^2

The height of the arch is given s:

height = 96 ft

The width of the base is given as:

width = 18 ft

A point on the building would be

(x,y) = (width/2, height)

So, we have:

(x,y) = (18/2, 96)

Simplify

(x,y) = (9, 96)

A parabola is represented as:

y = -a(x - h)^2 + k

The vertex of the parabola is at the origin.

So, we have:

y = -ax^2

Substitute (x,y) = (9, 96)

96 = -a * 9^2

This gives

96 = -81a

Divide both sides by 81

a= -96/81

So, the equation of the parabola is

y =-96/81x^2

Simplify

y =-32/27x^2

A sequence has its first term equal to 8, and each term of the sequence is obtained by adding 6 to the previous term. If f(n) represents the nth term of the sequence, which of the following recursive functions best defines this sequence?

Answers

A recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is:

a(n)=a(n-1)+d, where n=term number and d=common difference.

Since we are told that d=6:

a(n)=a(n-1)+6, a1=8  

They may want:

f(n)=f(n-1)+6, a1=8

I never understood why they teach this instead of explicit formulas because the above is pretty useless if you simply want say the 1031st term, you would need to do a lot of calculations to find it. :P.  The explicit function is:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), here a=8 and d=6 so

a(n)=8+6(n-1)

a(1031)=8+6(1031-1)=6188

Try finding the 1031st term with the recursive formula :D

Answer:

f(1) = 8 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 6; n > 1

∴ the interior angles are 80°, 30° and 70°

The angles of the triangle will be 70°, 30°, and 80°.

What is the triangle?

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

We know that the sum of the interior and the exterior angles is 180 degrees.

Two exterior angles of a triangle equal 100° and 150°.

The interior angle corresponding to the exterior angle of 100° will be

⇒ 180° - 100°

⇒ 80°

The interior angle corresponding to the exterior angle of 100° will be 80°.

The interior angle corresponding to the exterior angle of 150° will be

⇒ 180° - 150°

⇒ 30°

The interior angle corresponding to the exterior angle of 150° will be 30°.

Then the third angle of the triangle will be

⇒ 180° - 80° - 30°

⇒ 70°

The angles of the triangle will be 70°, 30°, and 80°.

answer
2236 square inches

Answer:

B. 2236square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for calculating the area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height.

According to the triangle,

Base = QR = 86inches

The value of a $225,000 house increases at a rate of 3.5% each year. Use a graph to predict the value of the house in 8 years.
A) ≈ $276,582
B) ≈ $286,263
C) ≈ $306,652
D) ≈ $296,282

Answers

In order to determine the value of the rent after x years, we need to generate a function which would relate the value of the rent and the time in years. The rate by which the rent increases is said to be 3.5% per year. So, if we do it manually, we would have:

value of the rent = 225000 + 225000 (.035) + 225000 (.035)(.035) + ........

However, this is a tedious and long process since we need to continue until year 8. We need to simplify it to an expression. We do as follows:

value of the rent = 225000 + 225000 (.035) + 225000 (.035)(.035) + ........

We factor out the initial rent, 

value of the rent = 225000 (1 + (.035) + (.035)(.035) + ........)

Then, we simplify the terms inside the first parentheses,


value of the rent = 225000 (1 + (.035))^x

where x is the number of years. We then substitute 8 to x to determine the value of the rent.

value of the rent = 225000 (1 + (.035))^8 = 296282.03

A barge that is used to transport bulk items is the shape of a rectangular prism and is 90 feet long, 35 feet wide, and 12 feet deep. If the barge can only be filled to a height of 75% of its depth, what volume of bulk items can the barge hold? ft3

Answers

Barge volume = 90 * 35 * 12 = 37 800 ft³

75% = 75/100 = 0.75

37 800 * 0.75 = 28 350 ft³ (barge can hold).

Final answer:

The barge can hold 28,350 cubic feet of bulk items when filled to 75% of its depth, calculated by using the volume formula for a rectangular prism.

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of bulk items the barge can hold, we first determine the maximum height to which it can be filled. This is 75% of the barge's depth. Therefore, the fill height is 75% of 12 feet, which equals:

0.75 × 12 ft = 9 ft.

The volume V that the barge can hold is given by the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

V = length × width × height

Substituting the given dimensions and the fill height into the formula, we get:

V = 90 ft × 35 ft × 9 ft = 28,350 ft³.

So, the barge can hold 28,350 cubic feet of bulk items when filled to 75% of its depth.

The extended version of the link given shows a triangle with sides of measurements equal to 13, 16, and 15 units. 

Since we are given with the measurements of all sides, we use the Heron's formula.

                         A = sqrt ((s)(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))

where s is the semiperimeter and a, b, and c are the measures of the sides.
    
                        s = (a + b + c) /2
                        s = (13 + 15 + 16) / 2 = 22

Substituting this to the equation for the area,
                      A = sqrt ((22)(22 - 13)(22 - 15)(22 - 16))
                            A = 91.19 square units

Thus, the area is approximately equal to 91.2 square units. The answer is letter B.
