Is -2 considered a real number

Yes. If we wanted to get even more specific, -2 is an integer, which falls under the label of the real numbers. √-2, on the other hand, is an imaginary number. The square root of -1 doesn't exist in the real numbers, so we invent a new number i with the property that i² = -1. Blending real and imaginary numbers together creates <em>complex numbers, </em>numbers with a real and imaginary part. This extension of the number system is tremendously useful because it essentially makes numbers two-dimensional, allowing us to manipulate and study them through a geometric lens.

Answer:

(a) 0.6

(b) 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am reading the little table right, You have made 9 shots, and have missed 6 of them. Therefore, in total, you have made $9+6=15$ shots.

The definition of probability is the number of events of a desired outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. Since you wish to make a shot for part a, the number of desired outcomes thus far is 9, out of 15 total shots. Thus,

$P($ making a shot $)=\frac{9}{15}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6$

Since making a shot and not making a shot are mutually exclusive events, and the only two events that could occur when shooting a basket, the probability of not making a shot and the probability of making a shot are all of the possible outcomes, and is thus equal to 1.

$P($ making a shot $)+P($ missing a shot) $=1$
