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%

Which of the following numbers is not a perfect square?<br><br> 24<br> 25<br> 64<br> 100
stich3 [128]
Hi! 

A perfect square is the product of when a whole number is multiplied by itself

Ex:

6 × 6 = 36, 36 is the perfect square. 

The number that is being multiplied is the square root. 

So to find the correct answer for this question, let's use the process of elimination. 

100 = 10 × 10 so we can cross out 100

64 = 8 × 8 so we can cross out 64

25 = 5 × 5 so we can cross out 25

Now all we have left is 24, which is not a perfect square. 

Answer: A. 24

Hope this helps :)

A car license plate is made up of 7 letters or numbers, where the numbers are whole numbers 0 through 9.
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the probability we first need to know the total number of choices for each character in the license plate. Since there are a total of 10 possible numbers (0-9) and 26 letters in the English Alphabet. Then this means that each character has a total of 36 possible choices. Out of these 36 only 10 are numbers, therefore the probability of the first character being a number is

\frac{10}{36} or 0.2777

If we rounded the decimal to the nearest hundredth it would be 0.28
