A basketball player makes 80% of his free throws. We set him on the free throw line and told him to shoot free throws until he misses. Let the random variable X be the number of free throws taken by the player until he misses. Assuming that his shots are independent, what is the probability of this player missing a free throw for the first time on the fifth attempt

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 0.08192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Probability of free throws = 0.80

Then, probability of missing the free throw = 1-0.80=0.20

Now, According to the negative binomial probability distribution, the probability that the rth success is achieved in xth trial is given by ;-

[tex]P(X=x)= pC_{r-1}^{x-1}p^{r-1}(1-p)^{(x-r}[/tex]

Put p = 0.20 , x=5 and r =1, we get

The probability of this player missing a free throw for the first time on the fifth attempt as [tex](0.20)\ ^{5-1}C_{1-1}(0.20)^{1-1}(1-0.20)^{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]= (0.20)\ ^{4}C_{0}(0.20)^{0}(0.80)^{4}\\\\=(0.20)(1)(0.80)^4\\\\=(0.20)(0.4096)\\\\=0.08192[/tex]

hence the required probability =0.08192

The measure of an angle is 89 times the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle

Answers

Answer:

2 and 178

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take an instance of a number 'x', according to the question we find that x+x*89=180(Because they are complementary)

We get, = 89x+x=180

=> 90x=180

=> x=180/90

=> x =2

So, we found that x=2 , hence the other angle is going to be 2*89=178

This is correct as 2+178=180(as they are supplementary to each other)

What are the coordinates of the vertices of the rose garden after a translation two yards east and four yards south? Use the terms A, B, C, and D

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of the original rose garden are A(3, 6), B(3, 3), C(4, 3), and D(4, 6).

Because the rose garden is translated 2 yards east (2 units in the positive x-direction) and 4 yards south (4 yards in the negative y-direction), add 2 units to the x-coordinates and -4 units to the y-coordinates of all the original vertices.

A(3, 6) will become A'[(3 + 2), (6 + (-4))], or A′(5, 2).

B(3, 3) will become B'[(3 + 2), (3 + (-4))], or B′(5, -1).

C(4, 3) will become C'[(4 + 2), (3 + (-4))], or C′(6, -1).

D(4, 6) will become D'[(4 + 2), (6 + (-4))], or D′(6, 2).

To make grape juice by using frozen juice concen-trate, you must mix the frozen juice concentrate with water in a ratio of 1 to 3. How much frozen juice concentrate and how much water should you use to make 11 this problem in two different ways by reasoning about multiplication and division with quanti-ties, explaining your reasoning in each case.

Answers

Answer:

To make 11 grape juice, you will need:

11 (1 * 11) frozen juice concentrate and

33 (3 * 11) water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are making 11 grape juice containers and each container requires 1 frozen juice concentrate and 3 quantities of water, to get the maximum quantities of ingredients required, you will multiply each ingredient by 11.

With the sum of ratio as 4 (1:3), we can also say that 44 (4 * 11) units of both frozen juice concentrate and water are required to produce 11 units of the grape juice.  Dividing 44 by 4 also gives 11 units.  Similarly, dividing the total ingredients of the frozen juice of 11 units by 11 juice concentrate gives 1 unit each and dividing 33 units by 11 quantity of water gives 3 units each in every unit of the juice produced.

What is a parallelogram?

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A parallelogram's opposite sides are parallel and equal.

The parallelogram WXYZ is shown.

We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent to each other. Then we have

YZ = WX

5x - 6 = 4x + 1

5x - 4x = 1 + 6

x = 7

Then the length of the ZT will be

ZT = 2x / 2

ZT = x

ZT = 7

The value of the variable x is 7. Then the length of the line segment ZT will be 7 units.

Answers

Answer:

KN = NM

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In a triangle KNM

angle ∠ MKN = 25°

angle ∠ KNM = 130°

angle ∠ NMK = 25°

The objective is to determine what is true about the side of KNM.

The correct option is:

KN = NM

From the above, we will see that two angles are equal, which implies the triangle is likely to be an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two equal angles and sides.

Thus, the intersection of NK with KM is at an angle of 25°, so do NM and KM. We can thereby conclude that the two sides are equal in length provided that they possess the same angles and they intersect at the line at the same angle.

Suppose the population of a certain city is 3339 thousand. It is expected to decrease to 2694 thousand in 50 years. Find the percent decrease.

Answers

Answer:

  -19.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change in a value is computed from ...

  percent change = ((new value) -(old value))/(old value) × 100%

  = (2694 -3339)/3339 × 100% = -645/3339 × 100% ≈ -19.3%

The decrease in 50 years is about 19.3%.

Consumers are paying record amounts of fees for overdrawing their bank accounts. In 2007, bankes this and credit unions collected $649 on in overdraft fees, which is $144 on more than in 2001. What is the
percent of increase?

Answers

Answer: 1.3 percent increase (to the nearest 10th

Step-by-step explanation: to figure out the percent of increase, you have to take the $144 away from 649, which is $505, then divide so:

$649 - $144 = $505

$649 / $505 = 1.28...or ~1.3
