During last year's basketball season, Jackson attempted

SAT
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago
6 0

This question is incomplete and not well written.

Complete question:

During last year's basketball season, Jackson attempted

150 free throws of which he made

120. So far this season, he's attempted 24 and made 16. A player's free-throw percentage is defined to be the percent of free-throws made out of the number of free-throws attempted. Assuming calculations began with the start of last year's season, which of the following best approximates Jackson's overall free-throw percentage to date?

A. 67%

B. 73%

C. 78%

D. 80%

Answer:

B. 73%

Explanation:

In the question, we are told that:

A player's free-throw percentage is defined to be the percent of free-throws made out of the number of free-throws attempted

Mathematically

Percent (% ) Free throw = (Number if free throws made ÷ Number of free throws attempted)× 100

For Last year, Jackson attempted

150 free throws of which he made

120

Percent (% ) Free throw = (Number if free throws made ÷ Number of free throws attempted) × 100

Percent(%) Free throw = (120÷150) × 100

= 80%

This season, he's attempted 24 and made 16

Percent (% ) Free throw = (Number if free throws made ÷ Number of free throws attempted) × 100

Percent(%) Free throw = (16÷24) × 100

= 66.67%

Approximately = 67%

The best approximation for Jackson's overall free-throw percentage to date is

(Percent Free Throw for last season + Percent Free Throw for this season) ÷ 2

Percent Free Throw for last season

= 80%

Percent Free Throw for this season = 66.67%

Therefore, (80% + 66.67%) ÷ 2

= 146.67% ÷ 2

= 73.335%

Approximately = 73%

Therefore, Jackson's overall free-throw percentage to date is 73%

John Locke believed that no king and no person had the right to rule over a human being without their consent.

Find the residual values, and use the graphing calculator tool to make a residual plot.
finlep [7]

Answer:

  • No, the points are evenly distributed about the x-axis.

Explanation:

<u>1. Write the table with the data:</u>

  x      given     predicted       residual

  1       - 3.5         - 1.1

  2      - 2.9           2

  3       - 1.1            5.1

  4        2.2           8.2

  5        3.4           1.3

<u>2. Complete the column of residuals</u>

The residual is the observed (given) value - the predicted value.

  • residual = given - predicted.

Thus, the complete table, with the residual values are:

  x      given     predicted       residual

  1       - 3.5         - 1.1                 - 2.4

  2      - 2.9           2                  - 4.9

  3       - 1.1            5.1                - 6.2

  4        2.2           8.2               - 6.0

  5        3.4           1.3                   2.1

<u>3. Residual plot</u>

You must plot the last column:

  x      residual

  1       - 2.4

  2      - 4.9

  3       - 6.2

  4       - 6.0

  5        2.1

See the plot attached.

<em>Does the residual plot show that the line of best fit is appropriate for the data?</em>

Ideally, a residual plot for a line of best fit that is appropiate for the data must not show any pattern; the points should be randomly distributed about the x-axis.

But the points of the plot are not randomly distributed about the x-axis:  there are 4 points below the x-axis and 1 point over the x-axis: there are more negative residuals than positive residuals.  This is a pattern. Also, you could say that they show a curve pattern, which drives to the same conclusion: the residual plot shows that the line of best fit is not appropiate for the data.

Thus, the conclusion should be: No, the points have a pattern.

  • 1. "<em>Yes, the points have no pattern</em>": false, because as shown, the points do have a pattern, which makes the residual plots does not show that the line of best fit is appropiate for the data.

  • 2. "<em>No, the points are evenly distributed about the x-axis</em>": true. As already said the points have a pattern. It is a curved pattern, and this <em>shows the line of best fit is not appropiate for the data.</em>

  • 3. "<em>No, the points are in a linear pattern</em>": false. The points are not in a linear pattern.

  • 4. "<em>Yes, the points are in a curved pattern</em>": false. Because the points are in a curved pattern, the residual plot shows that the line of best fit is not appropiate for the data.
