Kayla's expected value for a 2- point shot is 1 point.

What is expected value?

The expected value, also known as expectation, expectancy, arithmetical expectation, mean, average, first or moment, is a generalization of the weighted average in the field of probability theory. Informally, the estimation is the arithmetic mean of a significant number of values of a random variable that were independently chosen. A weighted average of all potential outcomes constitutes the expected value of the a random variable with such a finite number of outcomes. When there is a continuum of potential outcomes, integration defines the expectation. The expectation is provided by Lebesgue integration in the measure theory-based axiomatic foundation for probability.

Sol- The expected value is calcuated using the formula:

EV= x.P(x)

where x is the weight/value of the event, and P(x) is the probability of the event occurring.

For a 2-point shot, we have:

X=2

P(x) = 50/100 = 0.5

There for the expected value will be -

EV = 2×0.5 = 1

Thus,

The expected value will be 1 point.

Consider the following equation: f(x)=x^2+4\4x^2-4x-8 name the vertical asymptote(s)
zhenek [66]

ANSWER

The vertical asymptotes are


\Rightarrow x=2\:or\:x=-1

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

We have

f(x)=\frac{x^2+4}{4x^2-4x-8}


For vertical asymptotes we set the denominator to zero and solve the quadratic equation;

4x^2-4x-8=0


\Rightarrow x^2-x-2=0

We split the middle term to obtain,

x^2+x-2x-2=0

\Rightarrow x(x+1)-2(x+1)=0


\Rightarrow (x-2)(x+1)=0


\Rightarrow x=2\:or\:x=-1


Therefore the vertical asymptotes are


x=2\:or\:x=-1

Help its 11:28 due at 11:59 :((
Alja [10]

Answer:

y = 0.87x + 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Euros as a function of dollars means that euros is y and dollars are x.

We are given 2 points: (4, 3.5) and (10, 8.72)

slope = (8.72 - 3.5)/(10 - 4)

slope = 5.22/6 = 0.87

y = 0.87x + b

3.5 = 0.87(4) + b

b = 0.02

y = 0.87x + 0.02

Synthetic Division x^3+9x^2-11x-13
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

You can't synthetic divide since there's no dividend. As you can't factor it so I figure you must've forgot to include something or there's no solution.
