The boston celtics have won 16 nba championships over approximately 50 years. Thus it may seem reasonable to assume that in a gi

ven year the celtics win the title with probability p = 16/50 = 0.32, independent of any other year. Given such a model, what would be the probability of the celtics winning eight straight championships beginning in 1959?

We have been given that The boston celtics have won 16 nba championships over approximately 50 years. Therefore, it can be concluded that in any given year the probability of celtics winning the title will be p = 16/50 = 0.32

For Celtics to win eight straight championships in 1959, we will be required to multiply the probability of winning championship in one year to itself 8 times.

Therefore, the required probability is:

0.32^{8}=0.0001099511627776

Therefore, the required probability is almost 0.00011.

a big cruise ship dropped anchor off the Caribbean island of antigua. the heavy anchor dropped into the water at a rate of 2.5 m
AysviL [449]

Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell

                                     (2.5 m/s) x (45 s)  =  112.5 meters .

If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen

                                      (112.5 m  -  40 m)  =  72.5 meters

from its storage position on the big cruise ship, 
before it ever reached the water.

Since it was falling at the rate of  2.5 m/s, it took

                                     (72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s)  =  29 seconds

to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.

{\bold{\red{\huge{\mathbb{QUESTION}}}}}

The semicircle shown at left has center X and diameter W Z. The radius XY of the semicircle has length 2. The chord Y Z has length 2. What is the area of the shaded sector formed by obtuse angle WXY?

\bold{ \red{\star{\blue{GIVEN }}}}

RADIUS = 2

CHORD = 2

RADIUS --> XY , XZ , WX

( BEZ THEY TOUCH CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE CIRCLES AFTER STARTING FROM CENTRE OF THE CIRCLE)

\bold{\blue{\star{\red{TO \:  \: FIND}}}}

THE AREA OF THE SHADED SECTOR FORMED BY OBTUSE ANGLE WXY.

\bold{  \green{ \star{ \orange{FORMULA \:  USED}}}}

AREA COVERED BY THE ANGLE IN A SEMI SPHERE

AREA = ANGLE   \: \: IN  \: \:  RADIAN  \times RADIUS

\huge\mathbb{\red A \pink{N}\purple{S} \blue{W} \orange{ER}}

Total Area Of The Semi Sphere:-

AREA =   \pi \times radius  \\  \\ AREA = \pi \times 2 = 2\pi

Area Under Unshaded Part .

Given a triangle with each side 2 units.

This proves that it's is a equilateral triangle which means it's all angles r of 60° or π/3 Radian

So AREA :-

AREA =  \frac{\pi}{3}  \times radius \\  \\ AREA =  \frac{\pi}{3}  \times 2 \\  \\ AREA =  \frac{2\pi}{3}

\green{Now:- } \\  \green{ \: Area  \: Under \:  Unshaded \:  Part }

Total Area - Area Under Unshaded Part

Area= 2\pi -  \frac{2\pi}{3}  \\ Area =  \frac{6\pi - 2\pi}{3}   \\ Area =  \frac{4\pi}{3}  \:  \: ans
