7.93% probability of passing the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

Guessed true/false question.

Each have two options, one of which is correct, so $p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

50 questions

This means that n = 50

$\mu = E(X) = np = 50*0.5 = 25$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{50*0.5*0.5} = 3.5356$

Probability of passing a true/false test of 50 questions if the minimum passing grade is 60% and all responses are random guesses.

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.6*50 = 30. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{30 - 25}{3.5356}$

Z = 1.41

Z = 1.41 has a pvalue of 0.9207

1 - 0.9207 = 0.0793

7.93% probability of passing the test.

Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for

If its non of them tell me..valerie took a day-trip. she drove from her house for a while and took a coffee break. after her coffee break, she continued driving. after 2 hours of driving after her coffee break, her distance from her house was 210 miles. her average speed during the whole trip was 60 miles per hour.valerie created the equation y−210=60(x−2) to represent this situation, where xx represents the time in hours from her coffee break and yy represents the distance in miles from her house.which graph correctly represents valerie's distance from her house after her coffee break?
