Answer:

0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of p is shown below;

P in the case (2 points if not fouled) = 0.6

Now Expected points if not fouled is

= 0.6 × 2

= 1.2

Now Expected points from free throw is

0 × (1-p)^2 + 1 × 2p(1-p) + 2 × p^2 = 2p

As we can see that 2p would be lower tha  1.2 in order to make a foul on shooter that represent all values of p<0.06 would be considered to foul in the shooter

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Rs. 4266.67(approx) will be paid for gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks.

Explanation:

A shepherd is paid rs. 2400 for gazing 18 cows for 5 weeks .

⇒ Number of money paid for gazing 1 cow for 1 week is, \frac{2400}{18\times 5} =\frac{400}{15}= \frac{80}{3}

then,

for gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks is=  Rs. \frac{80}{3}\times (20\times 8)

Therefore, the amount paid for gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks is, \frac{80 \times 160}{3} = \frac{12800}{3} = Rs. 4266.66667 or Rs. 4266.67(approx)
