Answer:

The probability that in a randomly selected game, the player scored greater than 24 points is 0.0013 or 0.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Mean = μ = 15 points

SD = σ = 3 points

For calculating probability for a data point, first of all we have to calculate the z-score of the value.

We have to find the probability of score greater than 24, then the z-score of 24 is:

z-score = (x-μ)/σ

z = (24-15)/3

z = 9/3

z = 3

Now we have to use the z-score table to find the probability of z<3 then it will be subtracted from 1 to find the probability of z>3

So,

P(z3) = 1 - P(z

Converting into percentage

0.0013 * 100 = 0.13%

Hence,

The probability that in a randomly selected game, the player scored greater than 24 points is 0.0013 or 0.13%

Solve x2 + 1/2x +1/16=4/9
kolezko [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 0.417 or x = -0.917

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following expression and we are to solve it for the variable x:

x ^2 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + \frac { 1 } { 1 6 } = \frac { 4 } { 9 }

We will find the least common multiple of 2. 6 and 9:

x^2 \times 144 +\frac{1}{2}x \times 144 +\frac{1}{16} \times 144 = \frac{4}{9} \times 144

Simplifying it to get:

144x^2+72x+9=64

144x^2+72x+9-64=0

144x^2+72x-55=0

Using the quadratic formula to solve for x:

x=\frac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{-72 \pm\sqrt{72^2-4(144)(-55)} }{2a}

x=\frac{5}{12} or 0.417

x=-\frac{11}{12} or -0.917
