The probability that Gerald makes a three-point shot in basketball is 20\%20%20, percent. For practice, Gerald will regularly sh

oot a series of these shots until he succeeds at one. He's curious how many shots it will typically take him to get his first successful shot.
He simulated 404040 trials of three-point shots where each shot had a 0.20.20, point, 2 probability of being successful, and in each trial, he counted how many shots it took to get the first successful shot. Here are his results:


Use his results to estimate the probability that it takes 101010 or fewer shots to get his first successful shot.

Give your answer as either a fraction or a decimal.

Answer:

P(x \le 10) = 0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for properly presented question

Required

P(x \le 10)

From the question, we understand that he takes 40 shots (trials)

So:

n = 40

From the attached plot, the number of attempts up to the 10th is:

x \le 10 = 9+6+5+4+4+2+2+0+1+1

x \le 10 = 34

So, we have:

P(x \le 10) = \frac{n(x \le 10)}{n}

P(x \le 10) = \frac{34}{40}

P(x \le 10) = 0.85

How is |3+10| = |3| + |10| equal
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

First we must figure out what the question means. It is asking how the absolute value of 3+10 is equivalent to the absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of ten.

Next we should solve the expressions: The absolute value of 3 plus 10 is 13. The absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of 10 is 13. 13 and 13 are the same number.

Therefore, the expressions are equivalent.  Thus, having your answer.

A rectangle has sides measuring (6x + 4) units and (2x + 11) units. Part A: What is the expression that represents the area of t
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

A=lw

A=(6x + 4)*(2x + 11)

multiply it out:

A=6x*2x+6x*11+4*2x+4*11

A=12x^(2)+66x+8x+44

add like terms

A=12x^(2)+<u>66x+8x</u>+44

A=12x^(2)+(66+8)x+44

A=12x^(2)+74x+44

the expression used to find area is 12x^(2)+74x+44

Part B:

this is:

a second degree trinomial

since its leading coefficient (highest degree value of the expression) is 2

and

since it has three monomials (terms that are separated by + or - signs):

12x^(2)+<u><em>74x</em></u>+44

Part C:

(not sure about this one)

all area is positive or 0 (no area), so lets find the values of x that are true:

lets find the zeros

(6x + 4)*(2x + 11)=0

6x+4=0

6x=-4

x=-4/6

x=-2/3

2x+11=0

2x=-11

x=-11/2

6*(-11/2)+4

3*(-11)+4

-33+4

-29

2*(-2/3)+11

-4/3+33/3

29/3

6*(-2/3) + 4

2*(-2)+4

-4+4

0

x is greater than (-2/3)

Thus, any real number greater than -2/3 makes

(6x + 4)*(2x + 11) equals the expression:

12x^(2)+74x+44, where x is a real number greater than -2/3

if lets say x= 1, a counting number then:

(6*1 + 4)*(2*1 + 11)=12*1^(2)+74*1+44

(6+4)*(2+11)=12*1+74+44

10*13=12+118

130=130

130 and 1 are both counting numbers, proving the closure property of polynomials

The right triangle is also Isosceles. It has two equal angles of 45°.

(hypotenuse)² = 2S²

4 = 2S² => S = √2

Therefore B is the correct answer.
