William has a 3-point shooting average of 80%. He wants to determine the number of points he can expect to score if he takes 5 s

hots. Which describes one trial of a simulation for this situation? A. Write the numbers 1 to 8 on note cards and see how many times the numbers 3 and 5 are picked. B. Generate 5 random integers from 1 to 10 and see how many times the numbers 1 to 8 are generated. C. Throw a dart at a dartboard and see how many times you can score 80 points. D. Generate 3 random integers from 1 to 10 and see how many times the numbers 1 to 8 are generated.

Answer:

B. Generate 5 random integers from 1 to 10 and see how many times the numbers 1 to 8 are generated.

Step-by-step explanation:

William wants to simulate 5 shots with an 80% chance each shot. Let's see what is each option simulate

A.

This option is wrong. Since you generate 8 different possibilities(1-8), the chance for each is 1/8= 12.5%. The chance for either 3 and 5 is 25% and it's far from 80%

B.

This option is true. You generate 5 numbers which represent the 5 shots. Since you generate 10 different possibilities(1-10), the chance for each is 1/10= 10%. The chance for 1 to 8 is 80% .

C.

There is no information about the chance for the dart score, so this option won't simulate the situation accurately.

D.

This option is wrong. You generate 3 numbers which represent the 3 shots instead of 5.

Determine the correct set up for solving the equation using the<br> quadratic formula 4x^2-5=3x+4
slava [35]

You need to subtract everything to the left side and set it equal to zero. Combine like terms.

Then, the coefficient of x^2 is a, the coefficient of x is b, and the constant term is c.

4x^2 - 5 = 3x + 4

4x^2 - 3x - 5 - 4 = 0

4x^2 - 3x - 9 = 0

a = 4; b = -3; c = -9

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

x = \dfrac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(4)(-9)}}{2(4)}

Answer: x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5(x-2)=1/10(x+6)

1/5x -2/5=1/10x + 6/10

        +2/5             +2/5

1/5x =1/10x + 1

-1/10   -1/10  

1/10x= 1    divide both sides by 1/10

x= 10
