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.

For your trouble answering this, you will get 30 points. for all the trouble this may cause.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

read below

Step-by-step explanation:

A1: I think D because you have a medium average mix of concentrate that will mix with only 2 more cups than itself, so this would keep it fine. A could also work sooooo.... A or D. i dont know at this point. B COULD be a possible solution but it's 5 vs 9.

A2: C

1 cup of concentrate vs 2 water.... the water will make it MUCH more of a clear color.

Question C: this is more time consuming and I am tired so for you this might be easier if you're not as tired so based on what I'm reading you need to do math for each of the 4 options above, concentrate and water mix, and then divide the total of the 2 types of cups for every option.

Hope Q1 and Q2 helped though!

It took Sharon 105 minutes to wash three cars and put everything away. If she spent 10
shtirl [24]
Well that would be 105 - 10. If you spent 105 minutes in total and 10 of that was putting your stuff away, take that 10 minutes away and you’d get 95. So, she spent 95 minutes washing 3 cars in total. If you divide that 95 into 3s, you get rounded 31 minutes each.
