Suppose an NBA basketball player shooting an uncontested 2-point shot will make the basket with probability 0.6. How- ever, if you foul t he shooter, t he shot 'vill be missed, but t'vo free thro,vs will be a'varded. Each free thro'v is an independent Bernoulli trial 'vith success probability p. Based on the expected number of points the shooter 'vill score, for what values of p may it be desirable to foul the shooter?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of p is shown below;

P in the case (2 points if not fouled) = 0.6

Now Expected points if not fouled is

= 0.6 × 2

= 1.2

Now Expected points from free throw is

0 × (1-p)^2 + 1 × 2p(1-p) + 2 × p^2 = 2p

As we can see that 2p would be lower tha  1.2 in order to make a foul on shooter that represent all values of p<0.06 would be considered to foul in the shooter

Answers

Add the three items he wants to buy:

4.95 + 9.10 + 5.50 = 19.55

find the 12th term in the sequence: 1/16, -1/8, 1/4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the sequence is geometric because : (1/4)/(-1/8) = (-1/8)/(1/16)=-2   = r

the nth term is :  An =A1 × r^(n-1)

a common ratio is : r  and A1 the first term

in this exercice :   r =2         A1 = 1/16

when : n =12 you have the  12rd term  A12

A12 = 1/16 × 2^(12-1)  = 1/16 × 2^(11)

A class’s test scores are normally distributed if the average score 60 and the standard deviation is 7 choose the spots where the students scoring below 46 and above 74 lie

Answers

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a  class's test scores are normally distributed with an average score of 60.

We know that the curve of a normal distribution is symmetric about its mean.

60-14=46

60+14=74

Hence, the point 46 lies to the left of the mean and 74 lies to the right of the mean, and the two points have the same function value.

In a random sample of 8 residents of the state of Montana, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 3.0 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.23 pounds. Determine the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Montana. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

at 99%, Confidence interval is ( 2.716, 3.285 )

( 2.716 < μ < 3.285 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

sample size n = 8

mean x' = 3.0

standard deviation σ = 0.23

To calculate the confidence interval, we use the following expression;

x' ± [tex]t_{\alpha /2, df[/tex]( σ/√n) ------- let this be equation

now, at 99% confidence interval;

∝ = 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

degree of freedom df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

hence t-critical value = 3.499

in equation 1, we substitute in our values;

⇒ 3.0 ± 3.499( 0.23/√8  )

⇒ 3.0 ± 0.2845

⇒ 3.0 - 0.2845, 3.0 + 0.2845

⇒ ( 2.7155, 3.2845 )

Therefore at 99%, Confidence interval is ( 2.716, 3.285 )

( 2.716 < μ < 3.285 )

(The point is (2,5))

Answers

Answer:

(a) Verified

(b) They are simultaneous equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]2x - y = -1[/tex]

[tex]y =5x - 5[/tex]

Required

Verify that: [tex](x,y) = (2,5)[/tex] is a solution

We have:

[tex]2x - y = -1[/tex]

Substitute: [tex](x,y) = (2,5)[/tex]

[tex]2 * 2 - 5 = -1[/tex]

Evaluate all products

[tex]4 - 5 = -1[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]-1 = -1[/tex]

Because both sides of the equation are equal, then the point is a solution

Also: [tex]y =5x - 5[/tex]

Substitute: [tex](x,y) = (2,5)[/tex]

[tex]5 = 5 * 2 - 5[/tex]

Evaluate all products

[tex]5 = 10 - 5[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]5 = 5[/tex]

Because both sides of the equation are equal, then the point is a solution

Because the given point is a solution to both equations, then they are simultaneous equation

The 95% Confidence Interval is ($, $ )

Answer:

at 95%, confidence interval is ( $43312, $54288 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

sample size n = 36

mean x' = 48,800

standard deviation σ = 16,800

at 95% confidence level;

∝ = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

∝/2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

z critical value, [tex]Z_{\alpha/2[/tex] = 1.96

now, confidence interval for population mean is given by the formula

x' ±  [tex]Z_{\alpha/2[/tex]( σ/√n )

so we substitute

⇒ 48800 ±  1.96( 16800/√36 )

⇒ 48800 ±  1.96( 2800 )

⇒ 48800 ±  5488

⇒ 48800 -  5488, 48800 +  5488

⇒ ( 43312, 54288 )

Therefore, at 95%, confidence interval is ( $43312, $54288 )

help please ! solve for u and simplify the answer

Answers

Answer:

u = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{u + 7}{15} = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

We want to solve for u. This means we need to isolate u on one side of the equation.

To do this, first multiply both sides by 15. This will cancel out the denominator on the left side.

[tex]u + 7 = (\frac{4}{5})(\frac{15}{1})[/tex]

Multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

4 • 15 = 60

5 • 1 = 5

[tex]u + 7 = \frac{60}{5}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction.

60 ÷ 5 = 12

u + 7 = 12

Subtract 7 from both sides.

u = 5

Check your work by plugging u = 5 back into the original equation.

[tex]\frac{5 + 7}{15} = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]0.8 = 0.8[/tex]

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

5 is your answer for u.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other.

First, multiply 15 and 5 to both sides of the equation (to get rid of the denominators):

[tex]15 * 5 * (\frac{u + 7}{15}) = (\frac{4}{5}) * 5 * 15\\5 * (u + 7) = 4 * 15[/tex]

First, distribute the 5 to all terms within the parenthesis. Also, simplify the right side by multiplying:

[tex]5 * (u + 7) = 4 * 15\\(5 * u) + (5 * 7) = (4 * 15)\\5u + 35 = 60[/tex]

Next, isolate the variable, u. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, subtract 35 from both sides, and then divide by 5 to isolate the variable, u:

[tex]5u + 35 = 60\\5u + 35 (-35) = 60 (-35)\\5u = 60 - 35\\5u = 25\\\\\\\frac{5u}{5} = \frac{25}{5} \\u = \frac{25}{5} = 5\\u = 5[/tex]
