Probability theory predicts that there is a 16.2% chance of a particular basketball player making 5 free throws in a row. If the

basketball player taking 5 free throws is simulated 5000 times, in about how many of the simulations would you expect at least 1 missed free throw?

There is a 83.8% chance that the player will have at least 1 missed free throw.
5000 · 0.838 = 4190 simulations

Answer:

<em>4190</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

<em>Probability theory predicts that there is a </em><em>16.2%</em><em> chance of a particular basketball player making </em><em>5 free throws</em><em> in a row.</em>

Let us assume that, A be the event that, 5 free throws happen. So

P(A)=0.162

So the probability of the event of not happening the event A or event of missing  at least 1 free throw will be,

P(A^c)=1-0.162=0.838

So, in 5000 trial, number of missed free throw will be,

=0.838\times 5000=4190

Each ice cream cone at Izzy's Ice Cream Parlor contains $\frac{1}{32}$ of a gallon of ice cream. If Izzy has $\frac{3}{4}$ of a
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: 24 cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each cone contains 1/32 of a gallon of ice cream.

And Izzy has a total of 3/4 gallons.

How many cones we can make with this? This will be equal to the quotient between 3/4 gallons and 1/32 gallons, which will be equal to the number of times that we can fit 1/32 in 3/4

this is:

N = (3/4 gal)/(1/32 gal) = 24

This means that we can make 24 ice cream cones with 3/4 gal of ice cream.

M = (1,4)
N = (5,2)

For M, you simply move to 1 on the x axis abs for 4 you move on the y axis. Same does for N, for 5 you move on the x axis and for 2 you move on the y axis.

Simplify <br>(8/14 - 2/8) + 1/7​
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

13/28.

Step-by-step explanation:

(8/14 - 2/8) + 1/7

We can just remove the parentheses and simplify its contents:

=  4/7 - 1/4 + 1/7

= 4/7 + 1/7 - 1/4

= 5/7 - 1/4      The LCD of 7 and 4 is 28 so we have:

20/28 - 7/28

= 13/28.
