=) A student is taking a standardized test
consisting of multiple choice questions for
which there are five options for each question.
Four points are awarded for each correct
answer, but the student loses 2 points for an
incorrect answer. Questions left blank neither
receive nor lose points. Is it in the student's
best interest to guess?

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, honestly not sure how to solve this but I'll try.

Each correct answer is giving 4 points but the probability to choose the correct one is 1/5

Each incorrect one gives -2 points and the chance to pick a wrong answer is 4/5.

Obviously, the chance to lose points is more. But is taking the risk and guessing worth it? Well, it depends on how many points the correct answer gives. If it makes up for the possible loss of points, then it is in his interest to guess, otherwise he will end up losing more than they win.

If we sum the two chances to find averagely how many points the student will get, then I guess that would be the correct answer:

4(1/5) + (-2)(4/5) = 4/5 - 8/5 = -4/5

He will get averagely -4/5 points, so I believe it isn't in his interest. It means that the points he gets don't make up for the possible loss of points if you choose answers randomly. (Wow, I'm glad teachers don't do this on tests 0_0)

This is my theory though, not sure how to go for solving this, just thinked logically. I hope this helps, but don't trust me and copy paste my answer on your test or whatever. Think if this is correct first because I'm not sure

Write a polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients that has the given zeros. ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation, you must create the factors containing the roots.

So for example the first set of roots can be produced from

(x -2)(x^2 + 9)

which equals (when expanded) x^3 + 9x - 2x^2 - 18 which when put in the correct order gives

x^3 -2x^2 + 9x - 18

The second one is a bit more difficult to judge.

-5  and -3+  square root(2)

I don't think this is a polynomial. The coefficent is not integral. (-3 +√2)

Ben and Carson went to the movies with friends. Ben purchased 3 popcorn and 2 boxes of candy for $41. Carson purchased 1 popcorn and 2 boxes of candy for $29. How much did the popcorn cost?

Answers

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

B- 3P+2C=$41

C-1P+2C=$29

since they both bought at least 1 popcorn and 2 candy you can just subtract 29 from 41. you get 12 which equals the other 2 popcorns that ben bought

12/2=6

since you need to find the price of 1 popcorn you have to divide 12 by 2

there are 36 pupils in a class.the number of boys is twice the number of girls.how many are girls?

Answers

Answer:

12 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys to girls ratio= 1:2

Thats means there are (1+2) 3 total parts.

So [tex]\frac{36}{3}[/tex]=12

Each part is 12 so

boys is 12*2= 24 boys

Girls id 12*1= 12 girls

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in class ⇒ 36

Given that,

The number of boys is twice the number of girls.

First, let us make an expression to find the number of girls.

For that, let the number of girls be x.

Number of girls ⇒ x

Number of boys ⇒ 2x

Total number of pupils ⇒ x + 2x

So,

x + 2x  = 36

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 12

Therefore, there are 12 girls and 24 boys in the class.

3/4 of ... is 12 I neeed your help please help me

Answers

Answer:

The number is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to find 3/4 of a number to get 12.

We don't know what the number is, so we assign it a variable. We will assign the variable x and try to solve it.

We translate our problem into an equation. Since x is the variable and we multiply by 3/4,  we get the value of 12, which is exactly what we are trying to do.

(3/4)(x) = 12

To solve, we multiply both sides by 4/3, because in order to solve for x (the variable), it needs to be separated and isolated from everything else.

(4/3) * (3/4)(x) = (4/3) * 12

4/3 * 3/4 = 1 and (4*12)/3 = 48/3 = 16

x = 16

The number is 16.

The total dimension of the aquarium that will be cleaned by Steve will be 94 meters.

How to illustrate the dimensions?

Your information isn't given. Therefore, an overview will be given. In this case, let's assume that the aquarium is rectangular. Let's assume the dimensions are 20m by 27m.

In this case, since she needs to clean the four walls of the aquarium, the total distance that will be cleaned will be:

= 2(Length + Width)

= 2(27 + 20)

= 2 × 47

= 94m

In conclusion, 94m will be cleaned.
