Answer:

This means that the coach should have the team going for the 2 point shot. There is a 36% probability of making the 2 point shot and winning overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 60% probability of tying the game on a 2 point shot. In this case, the game goes to overtime, in which the team has a 60% probability of winning.

A 30% probability of making the 3 point shot and winning.

What should the coach do, go for the 2 point shot or the 3 point shot?

In which case the team has a higher probability of winning?

The team has:

A 60% probability of tying the game on a 2 point shot. In this case, the game goes to overtime, in which the team has a 60% probability of winning. So, going for the 2 point shot, the team has a 0.6*0.6 = 0.36 = 36% probability of winning.

Going for the 3 point shot, the team has a 30% probability of winning.

This means that the coach should have the team going for the 2 point shot. There is a 36% probability of making the 2 point shot and winning overtime.

The area of a door is 3024 square inches. If
olasank [31]

Answer:

Lets take all factors into consideration first

The door is a rectangle and the area of a rectangle is length times width

Let the width be w

Let the length be l

Equation length × breadth = area

(w+48)w = 3024

w^2 + 48w = 3024

w^2 + 48w - 3024 = 0

w^2 + 84w - 36w - 3024 = 0

w(w + 84) -36 ( w + 84) = 0

(w + 84) (w - 36) = 0

w + 84 = 0 AND w - 36 =0

w = -84 and w = 36

Since width cannot be negative, the right answer is 36

How did I get 84 and 36? Well, I had to factorize 3024 and since 84 times 36 is 3024 and 84 minus 36 is 48, I chose them.
