Amber has determined that the experimental probability of making a free throw in basketball is 12/15. What it the probability of

missing a basket?

Answer:

3/15, 1/5, or 0.2 probability. Highly unlikely

Explanation:

12/15 is the shown probability. The leftover is 3/15, so 3/15 is the chance of missing the basket.

A standard number cube is tossed. Find the following probability. P(greater than 4 or odd)

lorasvet [3.4K]

A standard cube has 6 possible outcomes. But since we want to find P(4+ or odd), the outcomes become more narrow.
So:
6 outcomes -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

But we want to find 4+
So:
4+ = 4, 5, 6

We also want to find all odd possibilities.
So:
odd = 1, 3, 5

As you can see, there is a 5 in both the 4+ and the odd numbers so 5 will only be counted once.
P(4+ or odd) = 1, 3, 4, 5, 6

So the probability of having an outcome that is P(4+ or odd) is:
5/6 or 0.8333 or 83.33%

Hope I helped!

What is the result of a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin of the line 2y + 3x=10?? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEE

maks197457 [2]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

The line is dilated by factor 3.

To find:

The result of dilation.

Solution:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

For $x=0$ ,

$2y+3(0)=10$

$2y+0=10$

$y=\dfrac{10}{2}$

$y=5$

For $x=2$ ,

$2y+3(2)=10$

$2y+6=10$

$2y=10-6$

$2y=4$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$y=2$

The given line passes through the two points A(0,5) and B(2,2).

If the line dilated by factor 3 with origin as center of dilation, then

$(x,y)\to (3x,3y)$

Using this rule, we get

$A(0,5)\to A'(3(0),3(5))$

$A(0,5)\to A'(0,15)$

Similarly,

$B(2,2)\to B'(3(2),3(2))$

$B(2,2)\to B'(6,6)$

The dilated line passes through the points A'(0,15) and B'(6,6). So, the equation of dilated line is:

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$y-15=\dfrac{6-15}{6-0}(x-0)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-9}{6}(x)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-3}{2}x$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2(y-15)=-3x$

$2y-30=-3x$

$2y+3x=30$

Therefore, the equation of the line after the dilation is $2y+3x=30$ .

The linear parent function, f(x) = x was transformed to create a graph g(x) = f(x) - 1

levacccp [35]

Subtracting 1 from the function notation will decrease the y-values on the graph by 1 unit.

This will shift then entire graph of f down by 1 unit to create the graph of g.
