Answer:

0.0016

Step-by-step explanation:

Batting average, p = 0.26

n = 7

x = 6

With p = 0.26 as success rate

1-p is equal to failure rate which is = 0.74

We have to solve this by using the binomial distribution formula.

P(X= x)

= nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

P(X = 6)

=7C6 × 0.26^6 ×(1-0.26)^(7-6)

= 7 × 0.0003089 × 0..74¹

= 0.0016

So probability that he has exactly 6 hits in his next 7 bats is equal to 0.0016.

Alain throws a stone off a bridge into a river below. The stone's height (in meters above the water), xxx seconds after Alain th

Naya [18.7K]

For this case we have the following function:
$h (x) = - 5x ^ 2 + 10x + 15
$
By the time the stone is thrown, x = 0.
We must evaluate this value of x in the function.
We have then:
$h (0) = - 5 (0) ^ 2 + 10 (0) +15

h (0) = 0 + 0 + 15

h (0) = 15 meters$
Answer:
The height of the stone at the time is thrown is given by:
h (0) = 15 meters
