Complete question is;

Multiple-choice questions each have 5 possible answers, one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to 5 such questions.

Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first four guesses are wrong and the fifth is correct. That is, find P(C), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer.

P(C) =

P(C) = 0.0819

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that each question has 5 possible answers and only 1 is correct. Thus, the probability of getting the right answer in any question is =

(number of correct choices)/(total number of choices) = 1/5

Meanwhile,since only 1 of the possible answers is correct, then there will be 4 incorrect answers. Thus, the probability of choosing the wrong answer would be;

(number of incorrect choices)/(total number of choices) = 4/5

Now, we want to find the probability of getting the 1st 4 guesses wrong and the 5th one correct. To do this we will simply multiply the probabilities of each individual event by each other.

Thus;

P(C) = (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (4/5) × (1/5) = 256/3125 ≈ 0.0819

P(C) = 0.0819

Answer from: Quest

the speed is $135$ miles per hour > is false

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

a relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

in a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

the graph shown in the figure represent a direct variation

the slope of the line represent the speed

$y/x=k$

for the point $(1.5,90)$

substitute the values of x and y

$k=90/1.5=60\ miles/hour$

the linear equation is equal to

$y=60x$

statements

case a) it takes $2$ hours to go $120$ miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for $x=2$

find the value of y in the linear equation

$y=60(2)=120\ miles$ > is correct

case b) the speed is $135$ miles per hour

the statement is false

because the speed is $60\ miles/hour$

case c) the unit rate for the trip is $60\ miles/hour$

the statement is true

because the speed is equal to the slope of the linear equation

case d) it took $20$ minutes to go the first $20$ miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for $x=20\ minutes=(1/3)\ hour$

find the value of y in the linear equation

$y=60(1/3)=20\ miles$ > is correct
