To solve this, you can set up an equation. Make the length of the shortest side x, so the 2 sides double the length will equal 2x. Since they all equal the perimeter of 36, do x + 2x + 2x =36. These values all represent the sides(2 longer, one short). Combine like terms to get 5x=36 then divide by 5 to find the value of x. x=7.2in meaning the shorter side is 7.2 inches while the longer sides are both 14.4 inches each since they are double in size.

4. Assume that the chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4 and the probability of hitting a free-throw is
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each 3-pointer shot, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player makes it, or the player does not. The same is valid for free throws. This means that both the number of 3-pointers and free throws made are given by binomial distributions.

Since 3-pointers and free throws are independent, first we find the probability of making exactly 3 3-pointers out of 10, then the probability of making exactly 5 free throws out of 10, and then the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws is the multiplication of these probabilities.

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.

Probability of making 3 3-pointers out of 10:

The chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4, which means that p = 0.4. So this is P(X = 3) when n = 10.

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

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.21499

Probability of making 5 free throws out of 10:

The probability of hitting a free-throw is 0.65, which means that p = 0.65. The probability is P(X = 5) when n = 10.

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

P(X = 3) = C_{10,5}.(0.65)^{5}.(0.35)^{5} = 0.15357

Calculate the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

0.21499*0.15537 = 0.0334

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.
