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)

Use the Laplace transform to solve differential equation
Inessa [10]
Using Laplace transform we have:L(x')+7L(x) = 5L(cos(2t))sL(x)-x(0) + 7L(x) = 5s/(s^2+4)(s+7)L(x)- 4 = 5s/(s^2+4)(s+7)L(x) = (5s - 4s^2 -16)/(s^2+4)
=> L(x) = -(4s^2 - 5s +16)/(s^2+4)(s+7) 
now the boring part, using partial fractions we separate 1/(s^2+4)(s+7) that is:(7-s)/[53(s^2+4)] + 1/53(s+7). So:
L(x)= (1/53)[(-28s^2+4s^3-4s^2+35s-5s^2+5s)/(s^2+4) + (-4s^2+5s-16)/(s+7)]L(x)= (1/53)[(4s^3 -37s^2 +40s)/(s^2+4) + (-4s^2+5s-16)/(s+7)]
denoting T:= L^(-1)and x= (4/53) T(s^3/(s^2+4)) - (37/53)T(s^2/(s^2+4)) +(40/53) T(s^2+4)-(4/53) T(s^2/s+7) +(5/53)T(s/s+7) - (16/53) T(1/s+7)

Write each equation in standard form. identify A,B,C.
aleksley [76]
Write in y=ax²+bx+c form
solve for y

given
\frac{x+5}{3}=-2y+4
solve for y

easy
minus 4 both sides
\frac{x+5}{3}-4=-2y
times -1/2 to both sides
\frac{x+5}{-6}+2=y
y=\frac{x+5}{-6}+2
y=\frac{-x}{6}-\frac{6}{5}+2
2=10/5
y=\frac{-1}{6}x-\frac{6}{5}+\frac{10}{5}
y=\frac{-1}{6}x+\frac{4}{5}
y=ax²+bx+c
y=0x^2+\frac{-1}{6}x+\frac{4}{5}

a=0
b=\frac{-1}{6}
c=\frac{4}{5}
