We have been given that The boston celtics have won 16 nba championships over approximately 50 years. Therefore, it can be concluded that in any given year the probability of celtics winning the title will be p = 16/50 = 0.32
For Celtics to win eight straight championships in 1959, we will be required to multiply the probability of winning championship in one year to itself 8 times.
Therefore, the required probability is:
Therefore, the required probability is almost 0.00011.
It would have to be an obtuse triangle
Answer:B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
There area 14 one cent stamps
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of 1 cent stamps
y -----> the number of 8 cent stamps
z -----> the number of 12 cent stamps
we know that
0.01x+0.08y+0.12z=1.78 -------> equation A
x=y+4 ------> y=x-4 -----> equation B
x=2z -----> z=0.5x ------> equation C
substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for x
0.01x+0.08(x-4)+0.12(0.5x)=1.78
0.01x+0.08x-0.32+0.06x=1.78
0.15x=1.78 +0.32
0.15x=2.10
x=14
therefore
There area 14 one cent stamps
