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.

Olenka [21]
The probability is 0.3, or 30%.

These are not independent events; one pill being chosen will affect the probability after that, as the pill will not be replaced before selecting the next one.

The probability of getting exactly 1 narcotic pill is given by:
(6/15)(9/14)(8/13) = 432/2730.  It does not matter what order the narcotic pill is in, the overall product will be the same.

The probability of getting exactly 2 narcotic pills is given by:
(6/15)(5/14)(9/13) = 270/2730.  Again, the order these are found in does not matter, as it is multiplication and will not change the product.

The probability of all 3 pills being narcotics is given by:
(6/15)(5/14)(4/13) = 120/2730.

Adding these three possibilities together, we have 822/2730 = 0.30.

Using translation concepts, we have that:

  • For the translation, she has to communicate if it is up, down, left or right and the number of units.
  • For a reflection she must communicate over which line the reflection happened.

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

A translation is either shift left/right or bottom/up, hence she has to communicate if it is up, down, left or right and the number of units.

A reflection is over a line, hence she must communicate over which line the reflection happened.
