4.3 - 1.4(p+7)= -9.7
4.3 - 1.4p - 9.8 = -9.7
    -1.4p = -4.2
        p= -1.4/ - 4.2

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.

A parabola has the equation –5x2 + 30x – y – 34 = 0. Which equation is that of the parabola in vertex form?
frozen [14]
We can complete the square to get a standard form quadratic into vertex form. First, add Y and 34 to the right side of the equation. You’ll get -5x^2 + 30x = y + 34.
Next, you need to factor out a -5 from the left side, so you’ll get -5(x^2 -6x) = y + 34. Then, complete the square on the left. You’ll get -5(x-3)^2 = y - 11. Finally, add 11. The answer is y = -5(x-3)^2 + 11

A surveyor is conducting measures to see how wide a road is
drek231 [11]

Answer:

D) 45 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are shown below.

Given:

BC = 60 ft, CD = 24 ft and DE = 18 ft.

Since, the two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are in proportion.

So, \frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{CD}=\frac{AC}{CE}

Now, consider the proportion of sides,

\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{CD}\\AB=\frac{BC}{CD}\times DE\\AB=\frac{60}{24}\times 18\\AB=\frac{60\times 18}{24}=45\ ft

Therefore, the distance between A and B is 45 ft.
