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)

Korolek [52]

Answer:

60 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Evan types a total of 72 pages a day.

In the morning he typed 1/2 pages or 72/2 = 36 pages.

In the afternoon he typed 1/3 pages or 72/3 = 24 pages.

Together, he typed 36 + 24 = 60 pages in the morning and afternoon.

A person that is 5 feet tall casts a shadow 25 feet long. How long is the shadow of a tree that is 15 feet tall?
fiasKO [112]
The person and his shadow make a right triangle as well as the tree and it's shadow. they will be similar right triangles containing angles that are equal. I'm in similar triangles the angles are proportional so a ratio could be used to determine the shadow length. this ratio is:
25/5 = x/15
(Notice that both the height of the person and
the height of the tree height of the tree are on
the bottom because these would be similar
sides and the same for the shadows with both
on top. this could easily have been switched
with the shadows on bottom and heights on
top like:
5/25 = 15/x
however I noticed the 25/5 could easily be
reduced. this eliminated the need for cross
multiplication.)

The 25/5 can be reduced to 5:
5 = x/15
and then multiply both sides by 15 and you get:
x = 75
so the answer is 75 feet long.

this can be checked various ways. using trigonometry we have the opposite and adjacent sides so tangent could be used to find the angle between the shadow and the hypotenuse. this is:
tan (x) = opposite/adjacent
opposite = height
adjacent = shadow
so:
tan (x) = 5/25 for person
tan (x) = 15/75 for tree
these equations both reduce to:
tan (x) = 1/5
And of both equations are the same then the angLee are equal creating similar triangles and a correct answer

How do you tell if it's possible to make a triangle out of these side lengths?<br> PLZ HELP!!!!!
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

square root of 73 is about 8.5

square root of 10 is about 3. multiply by 3, you get 9.

square root of 7 is about 2.6. multiply by 5, you get 13.

when determining if you can make a triangle, if all variants of two sides can add up to be greater than the third side, you can make the triangle. so 8.5+9 > 13; 13+9 > 8.5; 13+8.5 > 9. this means it can make a triangle and all you have to do is order the sides.

8.5 is smallest which corresponds to angle c because it's opposite. 9 goes to angle a, then finally 13 goes to angle b. thus, angles c, a, b is the order.

side note: the smallest side length will always correspond with the smallest angle.

hope this helps :)

Answer: $ 1361.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount will be 1060 * 20% = 212

Sales price 1060 + 212 = 1272

Tax 7% = 89.04

Kelly paid 1272 + 89.04 = 1361.04
