We are given the following variables:

p = probability of success / probability to shoot a free throw shot = 0.74

q = probability of failure = 1 – p = 0.26

n = number of samples / number of free throws = 8

 

We can solve for the average free throws he or she can make in the game using the formula:

average = n * p

average = 8 * 0.74

average = 5.92

round off:

average = 6 free throw shots

 

We can solve for the variance using the formula:

variance = n * p * q

variance = 8 * 0.74 * 0.26

variance = 1.5392

round off:

variance = 1.54 free throw shots

15 is what percent of 20
Lera25 [3.4K]
100%/x%=20/15
(100/X)*x=20/15*x   --I multiply both sides of the equation by X
100=1.33333333333*x --I divided both sides of the equation by                     .........................................(1.33333333333) to get X
100/1.33333333333=x
75=x
x=75

15 is 75% of 20

What is the value of the 1 in 178
Igoryamba
The value of 1 in 178 is 100 since it is in the hundreds place.  The value of 7 in 178 is 70 and the value of 8 in 178 is 8.  The hundreds place carries numbers from 1 to 9.  Once you get to 10, you add a digit to the number such that you now have four total numbers and the first digit is in the thousands place.

Question is attached
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Let v = ml of 100% vinegar

Then 150-v = ml of dressing

v  + .05(150-v) = .24(150)

v + 7.5 - .05v = 36

.95v = 28.5

v = 28.5/.95

v = 30 ml of vinegar

dressing = 150-30 = 120 ml
