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)

Woody and Jen were paid $60 to paint the garage. Jim started at 8 a.M. And Woody didn't arrive until 10 a.M. The work was comple
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim worked from 8am - 2 pm , which is 6 hours

Woody worked form 10am - 2pm, which is 4 hours

If we take the total time (4+6 = 10) and divide the amount they got, we have:

$60/10 = $6 per hour worked

Since Jim worked 6 hours, he will be paid 6 * 6 = $36

The rest, 60 - 36 = $24 would be paid to Woody (he worked less).

Jim's fair share of earning is $36
