Jodie Meeks's Free Throws During the 2015-16 NBA season, Jodie Meeks of the Detroit Pistons had a free throw shooting percentage

of 0.906 . Assume that the probability Jodie Meeks makes any given free throw is fixed at 0.906 , and that free throws are independent.If Jodie Meeks shoots 6 free throws in a game, what is the probability that he makes at least 5 of them?

Answer:

0.8973

Step-by-step explanation:

Relevant data provided in the question as per the question below:

Free throw shooting percentage = 0.906

Free throws = 6

At least = 5

Based on the above information, the probability is

Let us assume the X signifies the number of free throws

So,  Then X ≈ Bin (n = 6, p = 0.906)

P = (X = x) =  $\sum\limits_{x}^6 (0.906)^x (1 - 0.906)^{6-x}, x = 0,1,2,3,.., 6

Now

The Required probability = P(X ≥ 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

=  $\sum\limits_{5}^6 (0.906)^5 (1 - 0.906)^{6-5} + $\sum\limits_{6}^6 (0.906)^6 (1 - 0.906)^{6-6}

= 0.8973

Answer:

The margin of error is of 0.038 = 3.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 320, \pi = \frac{70}{320} = 0.21875

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

M = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.21875(1-0.21875)}{320}}

M = 0.038

The margin of error is of 0.038 = 3.8%.

An​ alligator's tail​ length, T, varies directly as its body​ length, B. An alligator with a body length of 4.5 feet has a tail
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If and only if it is a proportional relationship, the problem can be solved by creating a proportion of B1/T1=B2/T2. This can also be expressed as 4.5/3.5=5.4/x given the values. You must cross multiply, so 4.5x=3.5(5.4). This simplifies to x=4.2. So, the tail length would be 4.2 feet.

Hope this helps.
