4. Assume that the chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4 and the probability of hitting a free-throw is 0.65. Assume that in a given game the player shoots 10 free throws and 10 3-point shots. Treat each shot is an independent trial and calculate the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each 3-pointer shot, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player makes it, or the player does not. The same is valid for free throws. This means that both the number of 3-pointers and free throws made are given by binomial distributions.

Since 3-pointers and free throws are independent, first we find the probability of making exactly 3 3-pointers out of 10, then the probability of making exactly 5 free throws out of 10, and then the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws is the multiplication of these probabilities.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of making 3 3-pointers out of 10:

The chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4, which means that [tex]p = 0.4[/tex]. So this is [tex]P(X = 3)[/tex] when [tex]n = 10[/tex].

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.21499[/tex]

Probability of making 5 free throws out of 10:

The probability of hitting a free-throw is 0.65, which means that [tex]p = 0.65[/tex]. The probability is [tex]P(X = 5)[/tex] when [tex]n = 10[/tex].

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{10,5}.(0.65)^{5}.(0.35)^{5} = 0.15357[/tex]

Calculate the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

0.21499*0.15537 = 0.0334

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

Mr Baxter deposits 2,000 in an account that earns %5 simple interest how much is mr Baxter investment after 8 years?

Answers

Answer:

$2,800

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I is the interest (earned or paid), P is the principal amount invested/borrowed, R is the rate in decimal form, and T is the time in years.

I = (2000)(0.05)(8)

I = $800

Then we add that to the principal to get $2,800

A potato chip company produces a large number of potato chip bags each day and wants to investigate whether a new packaging machine will lower the proportion of bags that are damaged. The company selected a random sample of 150 bags from the old machine and found that 15 percent of the bags were damaged, then selected a random sample of 200 bags from the new machine and found that 8 percent were damaged. Let p^O represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged, pˆN represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged, pˆC represent the combined proportion of damaged bags from both machines, and nO and nN represent the respective sample sizes for the old machine and new machine.

Have the conditions for statistical inference for testing a difference in population proportions been met?

Answers

Answer:

The conditions for the approximation have been met

Step-by-step explanation:

Random samples on both cases  and

p∧o proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged

p∧n sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged

p∧c  =  ( p∧o + p∧n ) / (nO + nN )  

p∧o = 15 %      p∧o =  0,15         nO = 150

p∧o *  nO = 0,15 *150          p∧o *  nO = 22,5

p∧n  = 8 %      p∧n  = 0,08     nN = 200

p∧n*nN  = 0,08 * 200     p∧n*nN  = 16

Both  p∧n*nN  and   p∧o *  nO    are bigger than 5

Therefore both samples are big enough for the approximation of the binomial distribution to normal distribution

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below 8 2

Answers

In the triangle in question, x has a value of √68. The triangle is right - angled triangle based on the dimensions provided. According to this, the neighboring angle will also be x°.

What is an angle?

An angle is a shape made up of two rays that share a terminus and is designated by the name of the angle (the vertex).

The plane that contains the rays contains the angles created by two beams. The meeting of two planes might also result in an angle. These are referred to as dihedral angles.

An angle is created when two straight lines or rays intersect at the same point. The point where all points converge is known as an angle's vertex.

The Roman word angulus, which means "corner," is where the term "angle" comes from. In plane geometry, an angle is a shape made up of two rays or lines with the same termination.

In the triangle in question, x has a value of √68.

The triangle is right- angled triangle based on the dimensions provided. According to this, the neighboring angle will also be √68.

Therefore, a given triangle's angles will all be expressed mathematically as -

Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]x^{2} = 8^2 + 2^2\\x^{2} = 64 + 4\\x^{2} = 68\\x = \sqrt{68}[/tex]

As a result, the given triangle's x value is √68.

Answer:

  √29

Step-by-step explanation:

We can call the given points A(3, 4) and B(-2, 6).

The right triangle with segment AB as a hypotenuse can best be drawn along grid lines. Then the vertical leg is the difference of y-coordinates: 6-4 = 2, and the horizontal leg is the difference of x-coordinates: 3 -(-2) = 5.

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the legs.

  AB² = 2² + 5²

  AB² = 4 + 25 = 29

Taking the square root, we find the length of the line segment between the points to be ...

  AB = √29
