Helen plays basketball. For free throws, she makes the shot 78% of the time. Helen must now attempt two free throws. C = the eve

nt that Helen makes the first shot. P(C) = 0.78. D = the event Helen makes the second shot. P(D) = 0.78. The probability that Helen makes the second free throw given that she made the first is 0.86. What is the probability that Helen makes both free throws?

Answer:

0.6708 or 67.08%

Step-by-step explanation:

Helen can only make both free throws if she makes the first. The probability that she makes the first free throw is P(C) = 0.78, now given that she has already made the first one, the probability that she makes the second is P(D|C) = 0.86. Therefore, the probability of Helen making both free throws is:

P(C+D) =  P(C) *P(D|C) = 0.78*0.86\\P(C+D) = 0.6708

There is a 0.6708 probability that Helen makes both free throws.

Graph the equation<br> y=-2x+1
Fofino [41]

Start by plotting the y-intercept at (0,1).

From that point, count "up 2, right 1" to get a second point on your graph.  

If needed repeat that "up 2, right 1" from that second point to get a third point.

Draw the line that connects these 2 or 3 points.

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\&#10;\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  y=kx\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;k=constant\ of\\&#10;\qquad  variation&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\stackrel{frequency}{f}\textit{ of a vibrating string varies directly}\\&#10;\qquad \qquad \textit{with the square root of the tension }\stackrel{tension}{t}&#10;\end{array}

What is the exponential function property of domain?​
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers. The range is all real numbers greater than zero. The line y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote for all exponential functions. When a > 1: as x increases, the exponential function increases, and as x decreases, the function decreases.
