Suppose that each time Diana Taurasi takes a 3-point shot, she has a 37% probability of success, independent of all other attemp

ts. (Success yields 3 points; failure yields 0.) IfTaurasi takes seven 3-point shots in a game, what is the variance of the total number of points she scores from these shots?Please use the concept of independent random variables and/or variance and/or Linearity of Expectation and/or Binomial Distribution.

Answer:

The variance of the total number of points she scores from these shots is 4.8951.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each 3-point shot that she takes, there are only two possible outcomes. Either she makes it, or she misses. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution:

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeared trials, with p probability.

Has the variance given by:

Var(X) = np(1-p)

In this problem, we have that:

She takes 7 shots, each one with a 37% probability of success. So n = 7, p = 0.37. So:

Var(X) = np(1-p) = 7*0.37*0.63 = 1.6317

This is the Variance of the number of shots that she makes. Each shot is worth three points. So the variance of the total number of points she scores from these shots is 3*1.6317 = 4.8951.

(3, 8)

(4, 13)

(5, 12)

(6, 18)

(7, 20)

I hope this helps you!

Can someone please help me with these 7 questions please?

(1)\ (-xy)^3(xz)

Expand

(-xy)^3(xz) = (-x)^3* y^3*(xz)

(-xy)^3(xz) = -x^3* y^3*xz

Rewrite as:

(-xy)^3(xz) = -x^3*x* y^3*z

Apply law of indices

(-xy)^3(xz) = -x^4y^3z

(2)\ (\frac{1}{3}mn^{-4})^2

Expand

(\frac{1}{3}mn^{-4})^2 =(\frac{1}{3})^2m^2n^{-4*2}

(\frac{1}{3}mn^{-4})^2 =\frac{1}{9}m^2n^{-8

(3)\ (\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}

Apply negative power rule of indices

(\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}= (5x^4)^2

Expand

(\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}= 5^2x^{4*2}

(\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}= 25x^{8

(4)\ -x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2

Expand

-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = -2x^3 + 4x^2 - 6x^2

Evaluate like terms

-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = -2x^3 -2x^2

Factor out x^2

-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = (-2x-2)x^2

Factor out -2

-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = -2(x+1)x^2

(5)\ \sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}}

Divide by y

\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3y}}

Split

\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3y}}

\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3y}}

Rationalize

\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3y}} * \frac{\sqrt{3y}}{\sqrt{3y}}

\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3y}}{3y}

(6)\ \frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3}

Rationalize

\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{3 - \sqrt 3}{3 - \sqrt 3}

\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{(3 + \sqrt 3)(3 - \sqrt 3)}

Apply different of two squares to the denominator

\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{3^2 - (\sqrt 3)^2}

\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{9 - 3}

\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{6}

Simplify

\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{4(3 - \sqrt 3)}{3}

(7)\ \sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90}

Expand

\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =\sqrt{4*10} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{9*10}

Split

\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{10}

Evaluate all roots

\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =2*\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{10} + 3*\sqrt{10}

\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =2\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{10} + 3\sqrt{10}

\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =4\sqrt{10}

(8)\ \frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}

Expand

\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{r^2 + 3r-2r - 6}{r^2 + 6r-2r -12}

Factorize each

\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{r(r + 3)-2(r + 3)}{r(r + 6)-2(r +6)}

Factor out (r+3) in the numerator and (r + 6) in the denominator

\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{(r -2)(r + 3)}{(r - 2)(r +6)}

Cancel out r - 2

\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{r + 3}{r +6}

(9)\ \frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14}

Cancel out x

\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x^2 - 5x - 14}

Expand the numerator of the 2nd fraction

\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x^2 - 7x+2x - 14}

Factorize

\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x(x - 7)+2(x - 7)}

Factor out x - 7

\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{(x + 2)(x - 7)}

Factor out 4 from 4x + 8

\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4(x + 2)}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{(x + 2)(x - 7)}

Cancel out x + 2

\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{(x - 7)}

\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4}{x(x - 7)}

(10)\ (3x^3 + 15x^2 -21x) \div 3x

Factorize

(3x^3 + 15x^2 -21x) \div 3x = 3x(x^2 + 5x -7) \div 3x

Cancel out 3x

(3x^3 + 15x^2 -21x) \div 3x = x^2 + 5x -7

(11)\ \frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1}

Take LCM

\frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1} = \frac{m(m + 1) - 1(6m + 6)}{(6m + 6)(m + 1)}

Expand

\frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1} = \frac{m^2 + m- 6m - 6}{(6m + 6)(m + 1)}

\frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1} = \frac{m^2 - 5m - 6}{(6m + 6)(m + 1)}

(12)\ \frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}}

Rewrite as:

\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} \div \frac{2}{y^2 - 9}

Express as multiplication

\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} * \frac{y^2 - 9}{2}

Express y^2 - 9 as y^2 - 3^2

\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} * \frac{y^2 - 3^2}{2}

Express as difference of two squares

\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} * \frac{(y - 3)(y+3)}{2}

\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{(y+3)}{2}

\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{y+3}{2}

Melanie made a circular necklace. She puts beads evenly spaced around the necklace. If the 4th bead is directly across from the
Norma-Jean [14]
If the 4th lies opposite the 11th, then you know the 3rd lies opposite the 10th, the 2nd opposite the 9th, and the 1st opposite the 8th; meanwhile, in the reverse direction you'd find that the 5th lies opposite the 12th, the 6th opposite the 13th, and the 7th opposite the 14th. Move up one more bead and you're back at the 1st, which you already know lies opposite the 8th. Therefore there are 14 total beads.
