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

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 1 job application through the career centers is given by 0.011 x 1000 = 11 which is close to 14.

The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 2 job application through the career centers is given by 0.115 x 1000 = 115 which is far away from 15.

The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 3 job application through the career centers is given by 0.123 x 1000 = 123 which is close to 130.

Therefore, the result that would be suprising is "15 seniors completed 2 job applications through the career center."

What is the term for a point that varies greatly from all other data points
xenn [34]

The term for a point that varies greatly from all other data points is known as an <u>OUTLIER</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • An outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations. An outlier may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate experimental error.
  • An outlier can cause serious problems in statistical analyses.
  • An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance from other values in a random sample from a population. In a sense, this definition leaves it up to the analyst to decide what will be considered abnormal.
  • A point that falls outside the data set's inner fences is classified as a minor outlier, while one that falls outside the outer fences is classified as a major outlier.
  • The data here appear to come from a linear model with a given slope and variation except for the outlier which appears to have been generated from some other model.
  • Outliers can occur by chance in any distribution, but they often indicate either measurement error or that the population has a heavy-tailed distribution.
