The probability that Shruti succeeds at any given free-throw is 80%, percent. She was curious how many free-throws she can expec

t to succeed in a sample of 12 free-throws.
She simulated 25 samples of 12 free-throws where each free-throw had a 0.8, point, 8 probability of being a success.


Shruti counted how many free-throws were successes in each simulated sample. Here are her results:


Use her results to estimate the probability that she succeeds at 10 or more free-throws in a sample of 12 free-throws.

Give your answer as either a fraction or a decimal.

Answer:

The probability that she succeeds at 10 or more free-throws in a sample of 12 free-throws is 0.5584.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a success, or it is not. The probability of a free throw being a success is independent of other free throws. So we use the binomial probability distibution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Sample of 12 free throws.

This means that n = 12

The probability that Shruti succeeds at any given free-throw is 80%, percent.

This means that p = 0.8

Probability that she succeeds at 10 or more free-throws in a sample of 12 free-throws.

P(X \geq 10) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)

Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.8)^{10}.(0.2)^{2} = 0.2835

P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.8)^{11}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.2062

P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.8)^{12}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.0687

P(X \geq 10) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.2835 + 0.2062 + 0.0687 = 0.5584

The probability that she succeeds at 10 or more free-throws in a sample of 12 free-throws is 0.5584.

Match the pairs of equations that represent concentric circles. Tiles
Darina [25.2K]
I will explain you and pair two of the equations as an example to you. Then, you must pair the others.

1) Two circles are concentric if they have the same center and different radii.

2) The equation of a circle with center xc, yc, and radius r is:

(x - xc)^2 + (y - yc)^2 = r^2.

So, if you have that equation you can inmediately tell the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle.

3) You can transform the equations given in your picture to the form (x -xc)^2 + (y -yc)^2 = r2 by completing squares.

Example:

Equation: 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 12x - 6y - 21 = 0

rearrange: 3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 - 6y = 21

extract common factor 3: 3 (x^2 + 4x) + 3(y^2 -2y) = 3*7

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 7

complete squares: (x + 2)^2 - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 7

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 12 => center = (-2,1), r = √12.

equation: 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 16x - 8y - 308 = 0

rearrange: 4x^2 + 16x + 4y^2 - 8y = 308

common factor 4: 4 (x^2 + 4x) + 4(y^2 -8y) = 4*77

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 77

complete squares: (x + 2)^2  - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 77

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 82 => center = (-2,1), r = √82

Therefore, you conclude that these two circumferences have the same center and differet r, so they are concentric.

Find f(-1), f(0), f(3) for the following function.<br> f(x)=3x<br> f(-1)=Blank
kramer

Answer:

If f(x) = 3x, this means that any number that replaces x in the parenthesis, would replace x in the right side too.

When x = -1:

f(-1) = 3(-1) = -3

When x = 0:

f(0) = 3(0) = 0

When x = 3:

f(3) = 3(3) = 9
