A baseball player has a batting average of 0.25. What is the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at bats

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats is 0.3115.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a baseball player has a batting average of 0.25 and we have to find the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats.

Let X = Number of hits made by a baseball player

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r}; x = 0,1,2,......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 7 at-bats

r = number of success = exactly 2 hits

p = probability of success which in our question is batting average

of a baseball player, i.e; p = 0.25

SO, X ~ Binom(n = 7, p = 0.25)

Now, the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats is given by = P(X = 2)

P(X = 2) = $\binom{7}{2}\times 0.25^{2} \times (1-0.25)^{7-2}$

= $21 \times 0.25^{2} \times 0.75^{5}$

= 0.3115

The contrapositive of a conditional statement is "If an item is not worth five dimes, then it is not worth two quarters.”

balandron [24]

Example of use of terms:
Statement: If it is far, we take a bus.
Inverse: If it is not far, we do not take a bus.
Converse: If we take a bus, it is far.
Contrapositive: If we do not take a bus, it is not far.

We also know that
1. The inverse of the inverse is the statement itself, and similarly for converse and contrapositive.
2. Only the contrapositive is logically equivalent to the original statement.
This means that the converse and inverse are logically different from the original statement.

Now back to the given statement.
To find the original statement, we find the contrapositive of the contrapositive.
We then find the converse from the original statement, as in the example above.

Original statement
(note that in English, if it is not worth X dollars, means if it is not worth AT LEAST X dollars")
contrapositive of

"If an item is not worth five dimes, then it is not worth two quarters.”
is the negation of the converse, which become
"If an item is worth two quarters, then it is worth (at least) five dimes."

The converse of the previous statement is therefore
"If an item is worth (at least) five dimes then it is worth two quarters"

In this particular case, we can also take advantage of the fact that the contrapositive is the negation of the converse. So all we have to do is the provide the negation of each component of the contrapositive to get the converse:
"If an item is worth (at least) five dimes, then it is worth two quarters".
as before.

Note that the converse does NOT logically mean the same as the original statement.

The length of a rectangle is 3131 inches greatergreater than twice the width. if the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length,

Gala2k [10]

We have a rectangle with a diagonal included. That means we have to use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing dimensions. We start with the width as w. The length is 31 more than twice the width, so the length is 2w+31. The hypotenuse (diagonal) is 2 more than the length, so the diagonal measures 2w+33. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is always the longest side, so we set up Pythagorean's Theorem using the bolded values as such: $(2w+33)^2=w^2+(2w+31)^2$ . Distributing by multiplying we simplify to $4w^2+132w+1089=w^2+4w^2+124w+961$ . We need to solve for w. Once we do that we can use that value to find the length. What's nice is that the 4w^2 terms cancel each other out. So when we combine like terms and get them all on one side of the equals sign to factor we have $w^2-8w-128=0$ . The 2 numbers that add up to -8 and multiply to -128 are 16 and -8. So the width is either 16 inches or the width is -8 inches. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length. So -8 is out. The width is 16 inches. That means that the length is 2(16)+31, which is 63 inches. There you go!

Describe the rotation of J

Serga [27]

Answer:

The coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° counterclockwise will be: J'(3, 1)

The coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° clockwise will be: J'(-3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Square JKLM with vertices

J(1, -3)

K(5, 0)

L(8, -4)

M(4, -7)

We have to determine the answer for the image J' of the point (1, -3) when we rotate the point by 90° counterclockwise, we need to switch x and y, make y negative.

In other words, the rule to rotate a point by 90° counterclockwise.

P(x, y) → P'(-y, x)

As we are given that J(1, -3), so the coordinates of J' will be:

J(1, -3) → J'(3, 1)

Therefore, the coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° counterclockwise will be: J'(3, 1).

When the point is rotated by 90° clockwise, we need to switch x and y, make x negative.

In other words, the rule to rotate a point by 90° clockwise.

P(x, y) → P'(y, -x)

As we are given that J(1, -3), so the coordinates of J' will be:

J(1, -3) → J'(-3, -1)

Therefore, the coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° clockwise will be: J'(-3, -1)
