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)

harina [27]

Answer:

14 more flower would bloom if 21 more tulip bulb is planted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio for tulip bulbs and flowers is 15:10.

Now, finding number of flower to bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

Assume if 21 tulip bulbs are planted then number of flower would bloom be"x"

ratio given: \frac{Tulip\ bulbs}{ Flower} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{21}{x}

Cross multiplying the ratio to get:

⇒x= \frac{21\times 10}{15} = \frac{210}{15}

∴x= 14\ flowers

Hence, 14 flowers would bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

If total tulip bulb is 15+21= 36, then 10+14= 24\ flowers would bloom.

HELP!! I need help on #5 and #6. I will give brainlist!!
Karolina [17]

Answer:

#5 more info is needed. #6 is a CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

#5 doesn't have the appropriate values given which in this case is how much money. #6 is most likely a CD because they tend to have bigger interest rates, unless if you needed to access it. If you needed to access this money, a savings account would most likely give you the best interest rates.
