A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability

is P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt) .
Which notation is the probability of the two events being independent?




​ P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 1st attempt and made 2nd attempt)P(made 1st attempt) ​

​ P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)P(made 1st attempt) ​

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 1st attempt)P(made 2nd attempt)

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z.
iragen [17]

Answer:

x=6 and z=107

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure or diagram we can say that

z+15x-17=180 ---(1)

z+11x+7=180 ---(2)

Subtracting (1) and (2)

z+15x-17-(z+11x+7)=180-180

4x-24=0

4x=24

x=6

Substitute x=6 in (2)

z+11(6)+7=180

z+66+7=180

z=180-73

z=107

Find the volume of this sphere.
Sholpan [36]
<h3>Calculate the volume of the sphere</h3>

To start finding the volume of this sphere, we get the following data:

  • π = 3
  • r = 2 ft²

To find the volume we apply the following formula:

  • \boldsymbol{\sf{V= \dfrac{3}{4}\pi r^{2}  }}, where
  • v = volume
  • π  = pi
  • r = radius

We substitute our data in the formula and solve:

Substituting values into the equation

  • \boldsymbol{\sf{V=\dfrac{3}{4}*3*(2 \ ft)^{3}  }}

Calculate exponent cubed

  • \boldsymbol{\sf{V=\dfrac{3}{4}*3*8 \ ft^{3}  }}

Multiplying

  • \boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{V=32 \ ft^{3} }}}

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 32 ft³.

What is the solution to the equation 2(4-3x)+5(2x-3)= 20-5X2​
Alja [10]

Answer:

7-16x=10. I'm sorry I'm not good at math but it never hurts try, right?

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the parentheses first which would give you

8-6x+10x-15.

Next add 6x+10x which would give you

8-16x-15.

Then subtract 8-15 which would give you

7-16x=20-5x2. Then work the problem from there.

7-16x=20-10.

7-16x=10.
