John makes random guesses on his multiple-choice test, which has five options for each question. let the random variable x be the number of guesses taken before guessing correctly.

assuming the guesses are independent, find the probability that he doesn't guess correctly until his 6th guess.

0.0655

0.0789

0.3521

0.3277

So the correct option would be:

0.0655

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A negative binomial random variable "is the number X of repeated trials to produce r successes in a negative binomial experiment. The probability distribution of a negative binomial random variable is called a negative binomial distribution, this distribution is known as the Pascal distribution".

And the probability mass function is given by:

Where r represent the number successes after the x trials and p is the probability of a success on any given trial.

Solution to the problem  

Let X the random variable that represent the number of guesses taken before guessing correctly.

For this case the random variable X follows a negative binomial distribution given by:

And we want to find the probability P(X=1) and if we replace in the mass function we got:

So the correct option would be:

0.0655

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 204

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the revenue is

x⋅(4080−10x)=−10x^2+4080x

this is a quadratic function, so to maximize it we should find the x-value of its vertex. recall that the x-value of the vertex of the parabola ax^2+bx+c is given by the formula −b/2a.

so in this case, we have a=−10 and b=4080, so the x-value of the vertex is

−b/2a= −(4080)/2(−10)=204
