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.

Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular 56-gon.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
The answer is 6 degree.

Step by step process

The formula for calculating the measure of each exterior angle of a polygon is (360/n).

The number of sides of 56-gon(n) = 56.


So, each exterior angle
= (360/56)
= 6.43 or
6(approximately)

Which lists show numbers ordered from least to greatest? Choose all that apply.
saw5 [17]
The answer is C. -<span>3 3/4, -2 1/4, 1 1/8 

It is because the highest number in the negatives, -3 3/4, is always the lowest. Obviously if there is no negative sign it is positive. 1 1/8 is the only positive so it is the greatest. And -2 1/4 is lower that -3 3/4. So it is higher than -3 3/4 but lower than 1 1/8.

I'm sorry I'm not the best explainer, but does this help?</span>

The elevator at the state capital has a maximum weight capacity of 2000 pounds. If there are 3
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum capacity of the elevator = 2000 pounds

Combined weight of the elevator = 428 pounds

A). Let the possible weights that can be added to the elevator = w pounds

B). Therefore, inequality representing this situation will be,

    428 + w < 2000

C). By solving the given inequality,

    (428 + w) - 428 < 2000 - 428

    w < 1572 pounds

    Now we draw this inequality on a number line.
