A basketball player makes 60% of his shots from the free throw line. suppose that each of his shots can be considered independent and that he throws 4 shots. let x = the number of shots that he makes. what is the probability that he makes all 4 shots?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.1296 = 12.96% probability that he makes all 4 shots.

-------------------------------

For each throw, the player either makes it or misses it. The probability of making each throw is the same, independent of other throws, thus, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with X having two possible outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

Makes 60% of the shots, thus [tex]p = 0.6[/tex]4 shots, thus [tex]n = 4[/tex].The probability of making all of them is P(X = 4), thus:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.6)^{4}.(0.4)^{0} = 0.1296[/tex]

0.1296 = 12.96% probability that he makes all 4 shots.

what is the least common denominator of the rational expressions below?
6/x^2+7x - 8/x^2+10x+21
a. x(x+7)(x+3)
b. x+7
c. x(x+7)^2(x+3)
d. x(x+3)

Answers

The first thing we need to do is factor the denominators in the rational expressions.
Notice that in the denominator of the first rational expression we have a common factor [tex]x[/tex], so we can factor x out:
[tex] x^{2} +7x=x(x+7)[/tex]
Now, the denominator of the second rational expression is a quadratic polynomial, we can factor it by finding tow numbers whose product will 21 and its sum will be 10. Those numbers are 7 and 3, (7x3=21 and 7+3=10):
[tex] x^{2} +10x+21=(x+7)(x+3)[/tex]

Lets rewrite our rational expression with our factored denominators:
[tex] \frac{6}{ x(x+7)} - \frac{8}{(x+7)(x+3)} [/tex]

Now, to find the least common denominator we are going to take one of the common factors (x+7) and all the non-common factors: x and (x+3):
[tex]x(x+7)(x+3)[/tex]

We can conclude that the correct answer is a. x(x+7)(x+3)

Ivan was given two data sets, one without an outlier and one with an outlier.

Data without an outlier: 108, 113, 105, 118, 124, 121, 109
Data with an outlier: 108, 113, 105, 118, 124, 121, 109, 61

How is the median affected by the outlier?

Answers

It make it 121 instead of 118 because there is an extra number and median is the middle of a data set so the number of numbers is important.

Answer:

Median is decreased by the outlier or Outlier made median lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate median of the data without an outlier:

Data in Ascending or increasing order ,

105 , 108 , 109 , 113 , 118 , 121 , 124

Now there are 7 terms so

Median = [tex]\frac{7+1}{2}^{th}\:term[/tex] = 4th term = 113

Now we find median of the data with outlier:

Data in ascending or descending order,

61 , 105 , 108 , 109 , 113 , 118 , 121 , 124

here no of terms are 8.

So, Median = [tex]\frac{(\frac{8}{2})^{th}+(\frac{8}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}[/tex]

                   = [tex]\frac{4^{th}+5^{th}}{2}=\frac{109+113}{2}[/tex]

                   = 111

So, Median is decreased by the outlier or Outlier made median lower.

Crystal charges a flat fee of $10 plus an additional $5 per hour to babysit given the situation what is the range

Answers

Answer:

perhaps $10 to $10,810

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Crystal may be willing to babysit for a period of up to 3 months (90 days), so 90×24 = 2160 hours. Her hourly fee for that period will be ...

... (2160 hours) × ($5/hour) = $10,800

That amount added her $10 initial charge may represent the upper limit of her pay. The lower limit will be the $10 initial charge.

_____

Comment on the question

Since no upper limit on hours is given, we conclude the problem is not well-specified.

We can make a variety of different assumptions regarding the upper limit of babysitting time.

We might choose to consider this a daily charge, so the upper limit is $130 per day. We might consider that Crystal is willing to babysit while the child's parents are on a 2-week vacation. We might consider that Crystal is willing to babysit for the duration of her summer vacation from school (about 3 months). This is the assumption we use here.

If male and female college students work an average of 15 hours per week during the school year and the standard deviation is 5.4 for male students and 2.3 for female students, what may we conclude?

Answers

The variance of hours males spend working is almost two times as large as females. 60% of those females are more likely to work between 12.7 to 17.3 hours while 60% of the males work between 9.6 to 20.3 hours based on one standard deviation.

Answer: the male sample is more spread than the female sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the same for both genres, but the standard deviation form males is bigger than the one for females.

This means that the data of the male students is more spread than the female data (so there are more male students that study more hours, but there also are more male students that study less hours).

So the general conclusion is that the male sample is more spread than the female sample

The ice rink sold 95 tickets for the afternoon skating session, for a total of $828. General admission tickets cost $10 each and youth tickets cost $8 each. How many general admission tickets and how many youth tickets were sold?

Answers

GA=general admission=10 dollars
Youth=Y=8 dollars
GA+Y=95
GA=95-Y
10GA+8Y=828
10(95-Y)+8Y=828
950-10y+8Y=828
-2Y=-122 multiply by (-1)
2Y=122
Y=61
GA=34
There were sold 61 youth tickets and 34 general admission 


Final answer:

By solving the system of linear equations formed from the scenario given, we find that the ice rink sold 34 general admission tickets and 61 youth tickets during the afternoon skating session.

Explanation:

This problem is a simple linear algebra problem. We can represent the total number of tickets with the variable x (for the general admission tickets) and y (for the youth tickets). The scenario provides us with two equations:

The total number of tickets sold is 95, so x + y = 95.The total amount of money collected is $828, so 10x + 8y = 828.

To solve the system of equations, we can multiply the first equation by 8 to have both equations involving '8y', which gives us 8x + 8y = 760.

Subtracting the first modified equation from the second gives: 2x = 68. Therefore, solving for x gives us x = 34. That means, there were 34 general admission tickets sold.

Substitute x=34 into x + y = 95, we get 34 + y = 95, which simplifies to, y = 61. That means, there were 61 youth tickets sold.

If 8 identical blackboards are to be divided among 4 schools, how many divisions are possible? how many if each school must receive at least 1 black- board?

Answers

We usually distribute smartboards instead of blackboards these days! 

We have a stars and bars problem.

We represent the blackboards by n=8 stars,  and divide into k=4 schools  (A,B, C & D) using three bars.  Two consecutive bars or a bar at the end means that school has no blackboards.

For example, 
*|***|*|***
Means there are two schools with 1 blackboard, and two other ones with three blackboards.  Another example:
|*||*******
will mean there are two schools (A &C) with no boards, and B will have one, while school D will have 7.

So the problem reduces to counting the number of ways we can put the three identical bars. 

If there is no minimum number of boards for each school, then we can place the k=4 bars at n+1=8+1=9 locations each. 
Using combination notation, there are
C(n+1, k-1)=C(8+1,4-1)=C(9,3)=9!/(3!(9-3)!)=84 ways of distributing 8 blackboards to 4 schools.

On the other hand, if there is a minimum of one board for each school, then each school will get one, leaving 4 to be distributed as above, in
C(4+1,4-1)=C(5,3)=5!/(3!(5-3)!)=10 ways.

The solution of the equation is  x = ±3. 162.

What is equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Parts of an Equation

There are different parts of an equation which include coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and an equal to sign. When we write an equation, it is mandatory to have an "=" sign, and terms on both sides. Both sides should be equal to each other. An equation doesn't need to have multiple terms on either of the sides, having variables, and operators.

An equation can be formed without these as well, for example, 5 + 10 = 15. This is an arithmetic equation with no variables.

Given:

x² = 10

Now to solve the above equation we have to take the square root on both side, we get

√x² = √10

x= ±√10

x= ±3. 162 ( because root provides two values one is positive and other is negative)

Hence, the value of x is  ±3. 162.
