A player of the National Basketball Association’s Portland Trail Blazers is the best free-throw shooter on the team, making 94%
g100num [7]

Answer:

The data for the probabilities are shown in the table below.

- A represents the probability of making the two shots for each of the best and worst shooter on the Portland Trail Blazers' team

- B represents the probability of making at least one shot for each of the best and worst shooter on the Portland Trail Blazers' team.

- C represents the probability of not making any of the two shots for each of the best and worst shooter on the Portland Trail Blazers' team.

N | Best ||| Worst

A | 0.8836 | 0.3136

B | 0.9964 | 0.8064

C | 0.0036 | 0.1936

It becomes evident why fouling the worst shooter on the team is a better tactic. The probabilities of the best shooter making the basket over the range of those two free shots are way better than the chances for the worst shooter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Probability of the best shooter of the National Basketball Association’s Portland Trail Blazers making a shot = P(B) = 94% = 0.94

Probability that he doesn't make a shot = P(B') = 1 - 0.94 = 0.06

a) Probability that the best shooter on the team makes the two shots awarded = P(B) × P(B) = 0.94 × 0.94 = 0.8836

b) Probability that the best shooter on the team makes at least one shot.

This is a sum of probabilities that he makes only one shot and that he makes two shots.

Probability that he makes only one shot

= P(B) × P(B') + P(B') + P(B)

= (0.94 × 0.06) + (0.06 × 0.94) = 0.1128

Probability that he makes two shots = 0.8836 (already calculated in part a)

Probability that he makes at least one shot = 0.1128 + 0.8836 = 0.9964

c) Probability that the best shooter on the team makes none of the two shots = P(B') × P(B') = 0.06 × 0.06 = 0.0036

d) If the worst shooter on the team, whose success rate is 56% is now fouled to take the two shots.

Probability of the worst shooter on the team making a shot = P(W) = 56% = 0.56

Probability that the worst shooter on the team misses a shot = P(W') = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44

Part 2

a) Probability that the worst shooter on the team makes the two shots = P(W) × P(W)

= 0.56 × 0.56 = 0.3136

b) Probability that the worst shooter on the team makes at least one shot.

This is a sum of probabilities that he makes only one shot and that he makes two shots.

Probability that he makes only one shot

= P(W) × P(W') + P(W') + P(W)

= (0.56 × 0.44) + (0.44 × 0.56) = 0.4928

Probability that he makes two shots = 0.3136 (already calculated in part a)

Probability that he makes at least one shot = 0.4928 + 0.3136 = 0.8064

c) Probability that the worst shooter makes none of the two shots = P(W') × P(W') = 0.06 × 0.06 = 0.1936

From the probabilities obtained

N | Best ||| Worst

A | 0.8836 | 0.3136

B | 0.9964 | 0.8064

C | 0.0036 | 0.1936

It becomes evident why fouling the worst shooter on the team is a better tactic. The probabilities of the best shooter making the basket over the range of those two free shots are way better than the chances for the worst shooter.

A basket contains 15/16 pound of oranges .One serving of oranges is 1/8 of a pound.How many servings of oranges are there
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2/15 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

IF a basket contains 15/16 pound of oranges, then;

1 servings= 15/16 pounds of oranges

To get the number of servings for 1/8 pounds

x servings = 1/8 pounds

Divide both expressions

1/x = (15/16)/(1/8)

1/x = 15/16 * 8/1

1/x = 15/2

x = 2/15

Hence there will be 2/15 servings of oranges

8. Math on the Spot Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes
PolarNik [594]

Answer: y=-x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, 5 and -6 have to be substituted in the place of x in the equation y = -x + b(The slope has to be the same because the line is parallel). -6 = -5 + b, b = -1. This means that the equation is y = -x - 1.

Adam writes 18y to simplify an expression with three like terms. What could the expression be?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 6y + 7y = 18y......any numbers that add(or subtract) to equal 18, stick them before the y....

or it could be : 10y + 10y - 2y = 18y or 5y + 10y + 3y or 30y - 20y + 8y....I could go on forever...lol
