A professional soccer player succeeds in scoring a goal on 84% of his penalty kicks. assume that the success of each kick is ind

ependent. (a) in a series of games, what is the probability that the first time he fails to score a goal is on his fifth penalty kick? (b) what is the probability that he scores on 5 or fewer of his next 10 penalty kicks? (c) suppose that our soccer player is out of action with an injury for several weeks. when he returns, he only scores on 5 of his next 10 penalty kicks. is this evidence that his success rate is now less than 84%? explain.

A. Using the geometric probability:  .84^4 * (1-.84) = 0.07966; this means that <span>the probability that he makes his first * the probability he makes his second * the probability he makes his third * the probability he makes his fourth * the probability he misses his fifth. 

b. P (X<= 5) = binomcdf (10, 0.84, 5) = 0.0130

c. From the answer in B, if the success rate of the player still continues at 84%, the probability that he will score 5 or few goals in the 10 penalty kicks will still remain at 0.0130. This is quite low, we should examine him about whether he can still hit at 84% of his shots. So given from this data, we could say that his penalty kick success rate has fallen below the given rate of 84%.</span>

Geometric Distributions:Deals with the number of trials required until a single success.
 Geometric random variable: the number of trials (y) it takes to get a success in a geometric setting.
 When do you use it? To find first success or failure
 Calculator Commands
 When it takes more than n trials...1-geometcdf(p,n)
 When it take n trials... geometpdf(p,x)
 When it it takes a max of n trials...geometcdf(p,x)
 a. geometcdf(.16,5) = .0797
 b. binomcdf(10,.84,5) = .013
 c. From par b. if the soccer player's succes rate were still 84%, the probability that he would score 5 or few goals in 10 penalty kicks is 0.0130. This is so low thatwe should be suspicious about whether he can still hit 84% of his shots. We have convincing that his penalty kick success rate has fallen below 84%

Two particles each have the same mass but particle #1 has four times the charge of particle #2. Particle #1 is accelerated from
marin [14]

Answer:

 v_2 = 2*v  

Explanation:

Given:

- Mass of both charges = m

- Charge 1 = Q_1

- Speed of particle 1 = v

- Charge 2 = 4*Q_1

- Potential difference p.d = 10 V

Find:

What speed does particle #2 attain?

Solution:

- The force on a charged particle in an electric field is given by:

                                       F = Q*V / r

Where, r is the distance from one end to another.

- The Net force acting on a charge accelerates it according to the Newton's second equation of motion:

                                      F_net = m*a

- Equate the two expressions:

                                      a = Q*V / m*r

- The speed of the particle in an electric field is given by third kinetic equation of motion.

                                      v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2*a*r

Where, v_f is the final velocity,

            v_i is the initial velocity = 0

                                      v_f^2 - 0 = 2*a*r

Substitute the expression for acceleration in equation of motion:

                                       v_f^2 = 2*(Q*V / m*r)*r

                                       v_f^2 = 2*Q*V / m

                                       v_f = sqrt (2*Q*V / m)

- The velocity of first particle is v:

                                       v = sqrt (20*Q / m)

- The velocity of second particle Q = 4Q

                                       v_2 = sqrt (20*4*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*sqrt (20*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*v

Moving the probe 1 cm towards the non-grounded electrode changes the value the potential from about 0.90 V to about 1.2 V. Expla
svp [43]

Answer:

-30 N/C

Explanation:

Since the potential changes from 0.90 V to 1.2 V when I move the probe 1 cm closer to the non-grounded electrode, the electric field is the gradient between the two points is given by E = -ΔV/Δx where ΔV = change in electric potential and Δx = distance of potential change = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Now ΔV = final potential - initial potential = 1.2 V - 0.90 V = 0.30 V

Since E = -ΔV/Δx

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = -ΔV/Δx

E = -0.30 V/0.01 m

E = -30 V/m

Since 1 V/m = 1 N/C.

E = -30 N/C

So, the average electric field is -30 N/C

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

Which instrument is used to measure depth of ocean ?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Echo sounding is a type of SONAR used to determine the depth of water by transmitting sound pulses into water. The time interval between emission and return of a pulse is recorded, which is used to determine the depth of water along with the speed of sound in water at the time.
