Answer:

-15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The next step would be to distribute the negative two through the parenthesis,

-2n-6=9

then you add the six, -2n= 15

then you divide by 15 by negative 2 and get -15/2

An English professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 9% of scores B: Scores below the

Answer:

The minimum score required for an A grade is 83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 72.3 and a standard deviation of 8.

This means that $\mu = 72.3, \sigma = 8$

Find the minimum score required for an A grade.

This is the 100 - 9 = 91th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.91, so X when Z = 1.34.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.34 = \frac{X - 72.3}{8}$

$X - 72.3 = 1.34*8$

$X = 83$

The minimum score required for an A grade is 83.

A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability

taurus [48]

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
