Check the picture below.
based on the equation, if we set y = 0, we'd end up with 0 = 0.5(x-3)(x-k).
and that will give us two x-intercepts, at x = 3 and x = k.
since the triangle is made by the x-intercepts and y-intercepts, then the parabola most likely has another x-intercept on the negative side of the x-axis, as you see in the picture, so chances are "k" is a negative value.
now, notice the picture, those intercepts make a triangle with a base = 3 + k, and height = y, where "y" is on the negative side.
let's find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 now,
now, we can plug those values on A = (1/2)bh,
Answer:
The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player will make it, or he will miss it. The probability of a player making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws.
This means that
Probability of the player making the next 2 free throws:
This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So
Find the expected value of the proposition:
0.4095 probability of you paying $31(losing $31), which is when the player makes the next 2 free throws.
1 - 0.4059 = 0.5905 probability of you being paid $21(earning $21), which is when the player does not make the next 2 free throws. So
The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.
