In professional basketball games during 2009-2010, when Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers shot a pair of free throws, 8 time

s he missed both, 152 times he made both, 33 times he only made the first, and 37 times he made the second. Is it plausible that the successive free throws are independent?

Answer:

Is plausible that the successive throws are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Table with info given

The observed values are given by the following table

__________________________________________________

First shot          Made          Second shot missed           Total

__________________________________________________

Made                  152                       33                                185

Missed                37                         8                                  45

__________________________________________________

Total                    189                       41                                230

2) Calculations and test

We are interested on check independence and for this we need to conduct a chi square test, the next step would be find the expected value:

Null hypothesis: Independence between two successive free throws

Alternative hypothesis: No Independence between two successive free throws

_____________________________________________________

First shot                    Made                                    Second shot missed

_____________________________________________________

Made                  189(185)/230=152.0217                41(185)/230=32.9783

Missed                189(45)/230=36.9783                  41(45)/230=8.0217

_____________________________________________________

On this case all the expected values are higher than 5 and the sample size 230 is enough to apply the chi squared test.

3) Calculate the chi square statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

\chi_{cal}^2 =\sum \frac{(O_i -E_i)}{E_i}

Where O represent the observed values and E the expected values. Replacing the values that we got we have this

\chi_{cal}^2 =\frac{(152-152.0217)^2}{152.0217}+\frac{(33-32.9783)^2}{32.9783}+\frac{(37-36.9783)^2}{36.9783}+\frac{(8-8.0217)^2}{8.0217}=0.000003098+0.00001428+0.00001273+0.0.00005870=0.00008881

Now with the calculated value we can find the degrees of freedom

df=(r-1)(c-1)=(2-1)(2-1)=1 on this case r means the number of rows and c the number of columns.

Now we can calculate the p value

p_v =P(\chi^2 >0.00008881)=0.9925

On this case the pvalue is a very large value and that indicates that we can fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence. So is plausible that the successive throws are independent.

Answer:

Between 1000 and 5000 snowboards will make the function AP(x) >0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x can only take possitive values, we have that AP(x) = P(x)/x > 0 if and only if P(x) > 0.

In order to find when P(x) > 0, we find the values from where it is 0 and then we use the Bolzano Theorem.

P(x) = R(x) - C(x) = -x²+10x - (4x+5) = -x²+6x - 5. the roots of P can be found using the quadratic formula:

r_1,r_2 = \frac{-6 ^+_- \sqrt{6^2-4*(-1)*(-5)} }{2*(-1)} = \frac{-6^+_-\sqrt{16}}{-2} = \{1, 5\}

Therefore, P(1) = P(5) = 0. Lets find intermediate values to apply Bolzano Theorem:

  • P(0) = -5 < 0 ( P is negative in (-∞ , 1) )
  • P(2) = -4+6*2-5 = 3 > 0 (P is positive in (1,5) )
  • P(6) = -36+36-5 = -5 < 0 (P is negative in (5, +∞) )

The production levels that make AP(x) >0 are between 1000 and 5000 snowboards (because we take x by thousands)

pickupchik [31]
Each of the 4 choices has been drawn step by step as follows:

the first transformation is drawn in light grey
the second transformation is drawn in dark grey
the third transformation is described as how it should be.


Choice I, picture I: 
Rotate 180°, reflect over the x-axis, reflect over the line y=x

the last transformation should be : reflect with respect to the y-axis


Choice II, picture II: 
Reflect over the x-axis, rotate 180°, reflect over the x-axis

the last transformation should be : reflect with respect to the y-axis



Choice III, picture III: 
Rotate 180°, reflect over the y-axis, reflect over the line y=x

the last transformation should be : reflect with respect to the x-axis



Choice IV, picture IV: 
Reflect over the y-axis, reflect over the x-axis, rotate 180°

the last transformation should be : rotate 180° CORRECT!



Answer:  Reflect over the y-axis, reflect over the x-axis, rotate 180°
