Answer:

Three-ninths < One-half < Five-sixths < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to compares Five-sixths, One-half, Three-ninths, and 1

$\frac{5}{6} , \frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{9} , 1$

Take LCM of denominators

LCM of 6,9,2,1 = 18

$\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{15}{18}$

$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{9}{9}=\frac{9}{18}$

$\frac{3}{9} \times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{6}{18}$

$1 \times \frac{18}{18} = \frac{18}{18}$

$\frac{6}{18}$

$\frac{3}{9}$

Three-ninths < One-half < Five-sixths < 1

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation -2x^2 + 6x + 3 = 0?

mario62 [17]

For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is $x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{6^2-4*(-2)*3}}{2*(-2)}$

Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{36+24}}{-4}$

Next, do the addition: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$

Next, your equation will be split into two: $x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{60}}{-4},\frac{-6-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$ . Solve them separately, and your answer will be $x=-0.436,3.436$

Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws. If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $31.

Answer:

The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player will make it, or he will miss it. The probability of a player making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
