Bob is a high school basketball player. he is a 70% free-throw shooter (his probability of making a free throw is 0.70). what is

the probability that bob makes his first free throw on his second shot?

Probability he doesn't make a free shot = 10/10 - 7/10 = 3/10
Doesn't first time, does second time, so...
3/10 x 7/10 = 21/100

How do i solve this problem

Vladimir79 [104]

Solve the following system:
{6 t - 5 s = -4 | (equation 1)
{-r - 4 s + 3 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{-2 r - 4 s - 4 t = -9 | (equation 3)

Swap equation 1 with equation 3:
{-(2 r) - 4 s - 4 t = -9 | (equation 1)
{-r - 4 s + 3 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{-(2 r) - 4 s - 4 t = -9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 2 s + 5 t = 1/2 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Multiply equation 1 by -1:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 2 s + 5 t = 1/2 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Multiply equation 2 by 2:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 4 s + 10 t = 1 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Swap equation 2 with equation 3:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 4 s + 10 t = 1 | (equation 3)
Subtract 4/5 × (equation 2) from equation 3:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+(26 t)/5 = 21/5 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 5:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+26 t = 21 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 3 by 26:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Subtract 6 × (equation 3) from equation 2:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s+0 t = (-115)/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 2 by -5:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Subtract 4 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{2 r + 0 s+4 t = 25/13 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Subtract 4 × (equation 3) from equation 1:
{2 r+0 s+0 t = (-17)/13 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{r+0 s+0 t = (-17)/26 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)

In a binomial distribution, n = 8 and π=0.36. Find the probabilities of the following events. (Round your answers to 4 decimal p

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707

P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a binomial mass distribution can be expressed with the formula:

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(^{n}_{x} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(\dfrac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

where;

n = 8 and π = 0.36

For x = 5

The probability $\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (1-0.36)^{8-5}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(3)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (0.64)^{3}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5!}{5!(3)!} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 }{3 \times 2 \times 1} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =({8 \times 7 } ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =0.0887645}$

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$ to 4 decimal places

b. x ≤ 5

The probability of P ( x ≤ 5) $\mathtt{P(x \leq 5) = P(x = 0)+ P(x = 1)+ P(x = 2)+ P(x = 3)+ P(x = 4)+ P(x = 5})$

${P(x \leq 5) = ( \dfrac{8!}{0!(8!)} \times (0.36)^0 \times (1-0.36)^8 \ ) + \dfrac{8!}{1!(7!)} \times (0.36)^1 \times (1-0.36)^7 \ +$ $\dfrac{8!}{2!(6!)} \times (0.36)^2 \times (1-0.36)^6 \ + \dfrac{8!}{3!(5!)} \times (0.36)^3 \times (1-0.36)^5 + \dfrac{8!}{4!(4!)} \times (0.36)^4 \times (1-0.36)^4 \ + \dfrac{8!}{5!(3!)} \times (0.36)^5 \times (1-0.36)^3 \ )$

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.0281+0.1267+0.2494+0.2805+0.1972+0.0888

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707

c. x ≥ 6

The probability of P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - P( x ≤ 5 )

P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - 0.9707

P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293
