Answer:

a) Mean(x) = 0.40

b) Variance(x) = 0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the process is Bernoulli process, since the team can run or pass the ball into the end zone to score two points only. We are not told the number of times. Thus, <em>n </em>is unknown. That is, we are not told how many times the team successfully pass the ball into the end zone.

By Bernoulli process, the mean and variance are given as follow:

Mean = p

Variance = pq. This is the same as p(1-p)

Where p is the probability that this play is successful and q is  the probability that this play is not successful.

An arc of length 30 meters is formed by a central angle A on a circle of radius 15. The measure of A in degrees (to two decimal
Iteru [2.4K]
An arc of length 30 m : l = 30 m.
r = 15 m,  ∠ A = ?
Formula for the length of an arc is:
 l = r π A / 180°  ( where A is the central angle )
A = l · 180 / r π = ( 30 · 180 ) / ( 15 · 3.1415926 ) = 114.43 °
This is very close to your result.
