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)

Determine the solution set of each equation
maks197457 [2]

A=x1 = -8,x2 =2, B=x1= -5,x2=5, C=y1 = -4, y2 =5, D=y 18 over 5

alternative form

y=3 3over 5, =3.6

And E=x1=0, x2 =2 over 3

Alternative form

x1=0, x2=0.666667.

question A

Solving steps:Solve the quadratic equation

x²+6x-16=0

write 6x as a difference

x2 +8x-2x-16=0

factor out x for the expression

xx(x+8)-2x-16=0

factor out -2 from the expression

xx(x+8)- 2(x+8)=0

factor out x+8 from the expression

(x+8)x(x- 2)=0

when the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

x+8=0

x - 2=0

solve the equation for x

x= -8

x - 2=0

solve the equation for x

x= -8

x =2

the equation has 2 solution

x1 = -8,X2 =2

answer is

x1 = -8,x2 =2

Or

Solving steps:Number of solution

x²+6x-16=0

Determine the number of solution using the

discriminant D =b²- 4ac

D =6²- 4x1x(-16)

simply the expression

D=100

Since D>0, the quadratic equation has 2 real solution

2 real solution

Answer is

2 real solution

Question B

Solving steps:Solve the quadratic equation

x²-25=0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

x²=25

Take the square root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x=+5

Write the solutions,one with a +sign and one with a -sign

x= -5

x=5

The equation has 2 solutions

x1= -5,x2=5

the answer is

x1= -5,x2=5

Or

Solving steps:Number of solution

x²-25=0

Determine the number of solutions using the discriminant D=b²- 4ac

D=0²- 4x1x(-25)

Simply the expression

D=100

Since D>0,the quadratic equation has 2real solutions

Answer is

2real solutions

answer of question C is

y1 = -4, y2 =5

Answer of question D is

y 18 over 5

alternative form

y=3 3over 5, =3.6

Answer of question E is

x1=0, x2 =2 over 3

Alternative form

x1=0, x2=0.666667

A cylinder has a radius of 6 inches and a height of 15 inches. What is the surface area of the cylinder? Express the answer in t
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The surface area for this cylinder is 252*pi square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated by using the following formula:

surface area = 2*pi*r² + 2*pi*r*h

Applying the data from the problem, we have:

surface area = 2*pi*(6)² + 2*pi*(6)*15

surface area = 2*pi*36 + 180*pi

surface area = 72*pi + 180*pi

surface area = 252*pi

The surface area for this cylinder is 252*pi square inches.
