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

From Plato
30e-0.12t less than or equal to M
40e-0.18t less than or equal to M
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that compound A decays at a rate of 12% per week, and compound B decays at a rate of 18% per week. Since the rates represent decay, the r-value is negative. A decay rate of 12% is represented by an r-value of -0.12, and a decay rate of 18% is represented by an r-value of -0.18.
The initial amount of compound A is 30 grams and the initial amount of compound B is 40 grams. Substitute the initial amounts of each compound and their respective decay rates into the system of inequalities.
The following system of inequalities can be used to determine when the remaining mass of the two compounds, M, will be the same, after t weeks.

The length of a new rectangular playing field is 55 yards longer than tripletriple the width. If the perimeter of the rectangula
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 159923.5 and the width of 53289.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make 2 equations one that is the perimeter and another that is the length with respect to the width

b = w*3+55

2b + 2 w = 426426

we will replace b with (w * 3 + 55) in the second equation

2b + 2 w = 426426

2(w*3+55) + 2w = 426426

we clear w to find its value

6w + 110 + 2w = 426426

8w = 426426 - 110

8w = 426316

w = 426316/8

w = 53289.5

Now that we have the value of w we replace it in the first equation and solve to find b

b = w*3 + 55

b = 53289.5*3 + 55

b = 159868.5 + 55

b = 159923.5

A painter can paint 350 square feet in 1.25. What is the painting rate in square feet per hour?
stira [4]
350/1.25 = 280

As you need square feet per hour, you would calculate Square feet/hour. Hence 350 square feet/1.25 hours
