Simon Whitfield Victoria, British Columbia, won the men's triathlon at the Sydney Olympics. The race consisted of 1.5 km swim in

Sydney harbour, a 40 km bike ride, and a 10km run.
A) what percent is each component ?

B) what percent of the race distance is spent on land?

(P.s all these questions are from a text book and are question I don't understand, so pleases explain your answer.)

Total triathlon distance →1.5 km + 40km  + 10 km = 51.5 km

So 51.5 km represents 100% of distance covered.

The % of each component = (distance of component/Total distance) multiplied by 100% so :

% of swim → (1.5 / 51.5) × 100 → 0.029 × 100 = 2.9%

% of bike ride → (40 / 51.5) × 100 →0.776 × 100 = 77.6%

% of  run → (10 / 51.5) × 100 → 0.194 × 100 = 19.4%

Percentage spent on land  will be

(40 km bike ride + 10 km run / Total triathlon distance) multiplied by 100%

(50 / 51.5) × 100 → 0.970 ×100 = 97%

Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws. If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $31.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player will make it, or he will miss it. The probability of a player making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

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

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws.

This means that p = \frac{231}{361} = 0.6399

Probability of the player making the next 2 free throws:

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.6399)^{2}.(0.3601)^{0} = 0.4095

Find the expected value of the proposition:

0.4095 probability of you paying $31(losing $31), which is when the player makes the next 2 free throws.

1 - 0.4059 = 0.5905 probability of you being paid $21(earning $21), which is when the player does not make the next 2 free throws. So

E = -31*0.4095 + 21*0.5905 = -0.29

The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.

Find the average rate of change for fx) = x2 – 3x – 10 from x = 4 to x = 6.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is defined as

f(x2) - f(x1)

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

x2-x1

x2 = 6

f(6) = x^2 – 3x – 10 = 6^2 -3*6 -10 = 36 - 18-10=8

x1 = 4

f(4) = x^2 – 3x – 10 = 4^2 -3*4 -10 = 16 - 12-10=-6

Substitute the values into the expression

8 -  -6

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

6-4

8+6

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

2

14/2= 7
