Answer:
the previous population was 62,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The current population of a city = 83,700
The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.
We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.
Let the previous population be p
p +(35% × p) = 83,700
p + 0.35p = 83,700
1.35p = 83,700
p =
p = 62,000
Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.
A: because "reflection across the y axis then across the x axis is the only option that does not work"
we are given
basketball player Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons makes free throw shots 88% of the time
so, probability of making shot is
=88%
so, p=0.88
To find the probability of missing first shot and making the second shot
so, we can use formula
probability = p(1-p)
now, we can plug values
we get

So, the probability that he misses his first shot and makes the second is 0.1056........Answer
