Answer:

He made approximately 32 free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that there's a typo in the question and that he made 57% of his attempted free throws, then we can solve it as shown below:

We can apply a rule of three in order to calculate the number of free throws he made. This is done as follows:

56 free throws -> 100%

x free throws -> 57%

56/x = 100/57

100*x = 57*56

x = 57*56/100 = 31.92

It can also be solved by transforming the percentage in a fraction such as 57% = 57/100 and then multiplying it by the total attempts.

free throws made = 56*57/100 = 31.92

He made approximately 32 free throws.

Marcus asked 10 people at a juggling festival what age they were when they started to juggle
Scrat [10]

Question

Marcus asked 10 people at a juggling festival what age they were when they started to juggle. Which interval contains the median age?

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 10

Required

The median interval

The question is incomplete, as the required data is not given.

To solve this question, I will use the following assumed dataset.

Age:17\ 17\ 18\ 20\ 21\ 22\ 22\ 24\ 28\ 28

First, calculate the median position.

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\ th

Median = \frac{10+1}{2}\ th

Median = 5.5\ th

This implies that the median is the mean of the 5th and 6th data

So, we have the interval to be.

Median = [5th, 6th]

Median=[21,22]

<em>Generally, the median of 10 data set is located at interval 5 to 6</em>

A variation on a familiar theme: A packet is received correctly by an end user with probability p. To increase the likelihood th
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) X can take the values {0,1,2,3,...,n}

The probability mass function of x is defined for k copies received correctly as:

P(X=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

b) N should be N=2 to ensure that with probability 0.99 at least one copy of the message is received.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X:number of copies received correctly by the end user can be modeled as a binomial variable, as it is a sum of n Bernoulli variables with probability p.

X can take the values {0,1,2,3,...,n}

The probability mass function of x is defined for k copies received correctly as:

P(X=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

being p: the probability that a packet is received correctly by an end user, and q=1-p: the probability that a packet is not received correctly by an end user.

b) We have to calculate n so as to have a probability P(x≥1)=0.99, when p=0.9.

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)=0.99\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{n}{0}p^0(1-p)^n=1*1*(1-p)^n=(1-0.9)^n=0.1^n\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.1^n=0.99\\\\0.1^n=1-0.99=0.01\\\\n\cdot ln(0.1)=ln(0.01)\\\\n=ln(0.01)/ln(0.1)=2
