It is already in the simplest form. It can be written as 0.216 in decimal form (rounded to 6 decimal places).
|x|=3, |-x|=3, -|x|=-3. You can check each of the options one by one. First notice that the absolute value of some number can never be negative, so eliminate b, d and f. |-3|=3. |-(-3)|=|3|=3. -|3|=-3. So these three solutions are all correct answers.
Shaqquille's expected value is 0.56 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Situations:
1) he makes 1st shot + he makes 2nd shot
P(A) = 0.4 · 0.4 = 0.16 ( 16 % )
2) he makes 1 st shot + he misses 2nd shot
P(B) = 0.4 · 0.6 = 0.24 ( 24 % )
3) he misses 1st shot and he has no more attempts
P (C) = 0.6 ( 60 %)
0.16 · 2 + 0.24 · 1 + 0.6 · 0 = 0.32 + 0.34 = 0.56
The expected value is 0.56 points.
