Answer: If my calculations are correct, it'd be 160% percent decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

you subtract 640 and 480, 640%-480%= 160%

3 years ago

I can't take this anymore. Everywhere I go to find the answer to this question says it is 160%. Well it's NOT. The answer is one of these four: 25%, 75%, 80%, or 37%. NOT 160%. You can't just subtract the numbers there is a system to math ya know. Sorry if that seemed rude (i know it was), but I am kinda done with this.

If you did 640-160% you'd get -384.

A basketball player makes a free throw 82.6% of the time. The player attempts 5 free throws. Use a histogram of the binomial dis

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The most likely outcome is exactly 4 free throws

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 5$ --- attempts

$p = 82.6\%$ ---- probability of a successful free throw

$p = 0.826$

Required

A histogram to show the most likely outcome

From the question, we understand that the distribution is binomial.

This is represented as:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

For x = 0 to 5, where x represents the number of free throws; we have:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = ^5C_0 * 0.826^0 * (1 - 0.826)^{5-0}$

$P(X = 0) = ^5C_0 * 0.826^0 * (0.174)^{5}$

$P(X = 0) = 1 * 1 * 0.000159 \approx 0.0002$

$P(X = 1) = ^5C_1 * 0.826^1 * (1 - 0.826)^{5-1}$

$P(X = 1) = ^5C_1 * 0.826^1 * (0.174)^4$

$P(X = 1) = 5 * 0.826 * 0.000917 \approx 0.0038$

$P(X = 2) = ^5C_2 * 0.826^2 * (1 - 0.826)^{5-2}$

$P(X = 2) = ^5C_2 * 0.826^2 * (0.174)^{3}$

$P(X = 2) = 10 * 0.682 * 0.005268 \approx 0.0359$

$P(X = 3) = ^5C_3 * 0.826^3 * (1 - 0.826)^{5-3}$

$P(X = 3) = ^5C_3 * 0.826^3 * (0.174)^2$

$P(X = 3) = 10 * 0.5636 * 0.030276 \approx 0.1706$

$P(X = 4) = ^5C_4 * 0.826^4 * (1 - 0.826)^{5-4}$

$P(X = 4) = 5 * 0.826^4 * (0.174)^1$

$P(X = 4) = 5 * 0.4655 * 0.174 \approx 0.4050$

$P(X = 5) = ^5C_5 * 0.826^5 * (1 - 0.826)^{5-5}\\$

$P(X = 5) = ^5C_5 * 0.826^5 * (0.174)^0$

$P(X = 5) = 1 * 0.3845 * 1 \approx 0.3845$

From the above computations, we have:

$P(X = 0) \approx 0.0002$

$P(X = 1) \approx 0.0038$

$P(X = 2) \approx 0.0359$

$P(X = 3) \approx 0.1706$

$P(X = 4) \approx 0.4050$

$P(X = 5) \approx 0.3845$

See attachment for histogram

<em>From the histogram, we can see that the most likely outcome is at: x = 4</em>

<em>Because it has the longest vertical bar (0.4050 or 40.5%)</em>
