A basketball team is down by 2 points with only a few seconds remaining in the game. There is a 60% chance that the team will be

able to make a 2 point shot and tie the game, compared to a 30% chance that it will make a 3 point shot and win. In overtime, the team has a 60% chance of winning. What should the coach do, go for the 2 point shot or the 3 point shot? Be sure to identify any assumptions.
Assuming that the outcomes are independent, the coach should have the team go for the 2 point shot. What is the chance of making the 2 point shot and winning overtime?

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.

A block is set in motion hanging from a spring and oscillates about its resting position
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

t = 1.277 sec and t = 2.848 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is much more easily done by graphing it than by computing it using algebra.

The values of t we're looking for are the ones that make x = 0, so we want the solutions of 0.6sin(2t)+0.4cos(2t)=0 on the interval [0, 3].

According to the graph, this is true when t = 1.277 seconds and t = 2.848 seconds.

What is the quadratic regression equation that fits these data?
elena55 [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D.  y = -0.32x² -1.26x +15.81

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of those multiple-choice questions where you only need a vague idea of what the answer is supposed to look like.

In this case the answer must be a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. (The parabola opens downward.)

The only answer choice that is a 2nd degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient is choice D.

__

A: linear equation

B: exponential equation

C: quadratic that opens upward (positive leading coefficient)

D: quadratic that opens downward -- the answer you're looking for

Solve using demoivres theorem
pashok25 [27]
It's difficult to make out, but I think the task is to expand

(\sqrt3-i)^4

Write the number in polar form first:

\sqrt3-i=2e^{-i\pi/6}

By DeMoivre's theorem, you have

(\sqrt3-i)^4=\left(2e^{-i\pi/6}\right)^4=2^4e^{-i4\pi/6}=16e^{-i2\pi/3}

and converting back to Cartesian form, this number is equivalent to

16\left(\cos\dfrac{2\pi}3-i\sin\dfrac{2\pi}3\right)=16\left(-\dfrac12+-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\right)=-8(1+i\sqrt3)
