Well, it seems tome that if he makes 91% of all his free throws, then every time
he steps up to the line, there's a 91% chance that he'll make THAT throw.
Now the basketball has no memory, so the probability is the same for each
attempt, and the probability of succeeding on two consecutive attempts is
91% of the probability of succeeding on the first one, and so on and so forth.
So the probability of 6 consecutive baskets is (91%) x (91%) x ... etc, 6 times.
That's just (0.91)⁶ = <em>56.787 percent</em>.
The answer is .037
I did this by putting it in the calculator:)
5/g=n because the denominator is always the total amount and g is the total amount of granola bars in the box. And the 5 comes from the amount of kids that received the bars and the n is on the outside because your looking for that amount. I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense, i tried my best to explain.
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
- <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4
15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4
15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4
1/4 = 1/4
The answer is option B
hope it helps!!
