o score on the next shot as he is to miss, whereas if he misses a shot, he is six times as likely to miss the next shot as he is to score.
Required:
a. If Tommy has missed a shot, what is the probability that he will score two shots later?
b. In the long term, what percentage of shots are successful?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of of winning next shot if he scores= 0.5

Probability of missing next shot if he misses = 1/6

a) Probability of scoring 2 shots later if he missed = (1-1/6)^2

=(5/6)^2

=25/36

b) % of successful shots= (1/2+5/6×(1/100))%

=4/3×1/100

=0.013%

I need help understanding how to do the problem
notsponge [240]
So.. if you notice the picture below

is really just 3/4 of a cylinder, or, a full cylinder, and then you slice 1/4 off of it
notice the right-angle in your picture at the bottom, is cut at a right-angle, meaning, the cutout is 1/4 of the volume

so \bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height
\end{cases}\qquad \frac{3}{4}\textit{ of that}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \pi r^2 h

What is the formula of a circle in terms of its circumference <br> A=pi*r^2<br> C=2*pi*r
Alja [10]

"Formula of a circle" is too vague to be meaningful. Perhaps you meant, "Formula for the area of a circle in terms of its circumference."

The area of a circle in terms of its radius is A = πr^2. To put this formula to use, we have to know the radius of the circle. The circumference of a circle in terms of its radius is C = 2πr, so a formula for the radius is r = C / (2π).

Now let's find a formula for the area of a circle in terms of its circumference:

C C^2

A = πr^2 = π { ---------------- }^2 = ------------

2π 4π

or:

A = (C^2) / 4π
