A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability

is P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt) .
Which notation is the probability of the two events being independent?




​ P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 1st attempt and made 2nd attempt)P(made 1st attempt) ​

​ P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)P(made 1st attempt) ​

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 1st attempt)P(made 2nd attempt)

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Construct a linear equation for the table. What is the slope of the line
Klio2033 [76]

We have points (-3, 4), (-1, 2), (4, -3) and (6,-5)

Let's verify it's a line by calculating the slopes between successive points.

Slope is change in y over change in x.

(2 - 4)/(-1 - -3) = -2/2 = -1

(-3 - 2)/(4 - -1) = -5/5 = -1

(-5 - -3)/(6 - 4) = -2/2 =-1

Yup.  We have a line of slope -1 through point (-1, 2)

y - 2 = -1(x - -1)

y  = -x - 1 + 2

y = -x + 1

That's the linear equation for the table.  

Answer:  Linear equation: y = -x + 1          slope = -1

What is the recursive rule for this geometric sequence? 1/2, -2, 8, -32
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive rule allows us to find the term in a sequence from the previous term.

From the given geometric sequence find r the common ratio

r = \frac{-2}{\frac{1}{2} } = \frac{8}{-2} = - 4

Hence recursive rule is

a_{n+1} = - 4a_{n} ( a₁ = \frac{1}{2} )

The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 1800 degrees. How many sides does is have? *
Rudik [331]

Answer:

12 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of sides of a regular polygon with the sum of interior angles of 1800 degrees, we will follow the steps below;

first write down the formula for finding sum of the interior angle of a polygon

s= (n-2)180

where s is the sum of the interior angle and n is the number of side

from the question given, sum of the interior angle s=1800 degrees

substitute s=1800 degree into the formula and solve for n

s= (n-2)180

1800 = (n-2)180

divide both-side of the equation by 180

1800/180 = n-2

10 = n - 2

add 2 to both-side of the equation

10 + 2 = n

12 = n

n= 12

The polygon have 12 sides
