Answer:

B. 0.03110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability of Hit = 60%

Required

Determine the probability that he misses at 6th throw

Represent Probability of Hit with P

P = 60\%

Convert to decimal

P = 0,6

Next; Determine the Probability of Miss (q)

Opposite probabilities add up to 1;

So,

p + q = 1

q = 1 - p

Substitute 0.6 for p

q = 1 - 0.6

q = 0.4

Next,is to determine the required probability;

Since, he's expected to miss the 6th throw, the probability is:

Probability = p^5 * q

Probability = 0.6^5 * 0.4

Probability = 0.031104

Hence;

<em>Option B answers the question</em>

3/9 + 3/27 = ? Adding fractions
RideAnS [48]
\frac{3}{9} + \frac{3}{27} equals \frac{4}{9}.

First, simplify \frac{3}{9} to \frac{1}{3} and also \frac{3}{27} to \frac{1}{9}. Your problem should look like: \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Second, find the least common denominator of \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{9} to get 9.
Third, make the denominators the same as the least common denominator (LCD). Your problem should look like: \frac{1x3}{3x3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fourth, simplify to get the denominators the same. Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{9} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fifth, join the denominators. Your problem should look like: \frac{3+1}{9}.
Sixth, simplify. Your problem should look like: \frac{4}{9}, which is the answer.

What function is f(x)=x^2
ozzi

Answer:

f (x) = x2 shows us that function " f " takes " x " and squares it. Example: with f (x) = x2: becomes an output of 16. In fact we can write f (4) = 16. The "x" is Just a Place-Holder! Don't get too concerned about "x", it is just there to show us where the input goes and what happens to it.
