Suppose you have gone bowling with an excellent player who bowls a strike (i.e. when they hit all of the pins) 73% of the time.

By the fourth frame, this person realizes that they can clinch first place in a local tournament by bowling 3 consecutive strikes. What is the likelihood of this happening

Answer:

The probability of bowling 3 consecutive strikes is 0.3890.

Explanation:

On any given turn, this player has a 73% chance of bowling a strike. Hence:

Probability of bowling a strike = P(S) = 73% = 0.73

We need to find the probability of this player bowling 3 consecutive strikes. This is computed as follows:

Probability of bowling 3 consecutive strikes

= Probability of bowling first strike x Probability of bowling second strike x Probability of bowling third strike

= P(S) x P(S) x P(S)

= 0.73 x 0.73 x 0.73

= 0.3890

The number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn is approximated by the following function:
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S(x) = -x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2}+405\cdot x +4965, for 6 \leq x \leq 20. x represents the temperature of the water, measured in degrees Celsius, and S is the number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn, dimensionless.

We compute the first and second derivatives of the function:

S'(x) = -3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 (Eq. 1)

S''(x) = -6\cdot x +4 (Eq. 2)

Then we equalize (Eq. 1) to zero and solve for x:

-3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 = 0

And all roots are found by Quadratic Formula:

x_{1} \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C, x_{2}\approx -10.971\,^{\circ}C

Only the first root is inside the given interval of the function. Hence, the correct answer is:

x \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C

Now we evaluate the second derivative at given result. That is:

S''(12.305) = -6\cdot (12.305)+4

S''(12.305) = -69.83

According to the Second Derivative Test, a negative value means that critical value leads to a maximum. In consequence, the water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Properties of parallelograms <br> PLEASE HELP
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

m∠Q = 109°

m∠QRT = 109°

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1). "Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal"

By this property,

m∠Q = m∠S = 109°

2). "Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in measure"

By this property,

RQ║ST and diagonal RT is a transversal line.

m∠QRT = ∠SRT = 30° [Alternate interior angles]

3). "Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in measure"

RS = QT

2x = 8

x = 4
