1.9 is the answer. But I could be wrong though.
Answer:
P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.
If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.
In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change
Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80
Hence I throw is independent of II throw.
When A and B are independent,then we have
P(A/B) = P(A)
Hence answer is
P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
A=1/10, b=1/12, c=1/15 (these are the rates for each worker...)
1.)
2(1/10)+4(1/12)+t/15=1
1/5+1/3+t/15=1
(3+5+t)/15=1
3+5+t=15
8+t=15
t=7
So it would take c 7 hours to finish the job.
2.)
1/40-1/60
(3-2)/120
1/120
The drain rate is 1/60. So you will need to find t when the tank is empty, while starting at 2/3 capacity...
2/3-t/60=0
(40-t)/60=0
40-t=0
t=40
It would take 40 minutes to empty the tank when it is 2/3 full.
This is a one-step equation. All you need to do is multiply the 2.5 over to the 20 to get x by itself.
x=50
Hope this helps!
I really don't understand your question that you asked 3 WEEKS ago.
