Based on statistics for the past several seasons, the probability that the best player on a basketball team makes a free throw i

s 8/10. the probability that the second-best player makes a free throw is 13/20. if both players attempt 140 free throws over a season, how many more free throws is the best player expected to make? Please help!!!

Answer:

He is expected to make 21 more free throws

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the probability for the best player is 8/10 or 80%

the probability for the second best is 13/20. This is equivalent to 65%

They each attempt 140 free throws.

We need to figure out what 80% of 140 is. To do this, we need to multiply 140 by 0.80. 140 * 0.80 = 112

We do the same for the second best

140 * 0.65 = 91

112 - 91 = 21.

Hope this helped

(1 point) find the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at (5,−5,−1),(5,−5,−1), and adjacent vertices at (−1,−12,4),(−1,
Alenkinab [10]

The volume is the scalar triple product of the direction vectors from the first point to the others. That is computed as the magnitude of the determinant of the matrix of vector values.

a = (-1, -12, 4) - (5, -5, -1) = (-6, -7, 5)

b = (11, -9, -3) - (5, -5, -1) = (6, -4, -2)

c = (0, 2, -3) - (5, -5, -1) = (-5, 7, -2)

Then |(a×b)•c| is

\left|det\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5&7&-2\\-6&-7&5\\6&-4&-2\end{array}\right]\right|=|-176|=176

The volume is 176 cubic units.

The school that rob goes to is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 22 senior c
Naddik [55]

Answer: price of a senior citizen ticket = $3.71

Let the price of a child ticket = $4.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a senior citizen ticket = x

Let the price of a child ticket = y

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 22 senior citizen tickets and 10 child tickets for a total of $126. This will be:

22x + 10y = 126 ............ i

The school took in $51 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 9 child tickets. This will be:

3x + 9y = 51 ........... ii

22x + 10y = 126 ............ i

3x + 9y = 51 ........... ii

Multiply equation i by 3

Multiply equation ii by 22

66x + 30y = 378 ....... iii

66x + 198y = 1122 ........ iv

Subtract iii from iv

168y = 744

y = 744/168

y = 4.43

Since 3x + 9y = 51

3x + 9(4.43) = 51

3x + 39.87 = 51

3x = 51 - 39.87

3x = 11.13

x = 11.13/3

x = 3.71

Y=3x-5 y=6x-8 show all steps and write the solution
m_a_m_a [10]

Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.

3x -5 = 6x - 8

3x + (-5+5) = 6x -8 + 5

(3x - 6x) = (6x - 6x) - 3

-3x/-3  = -3/-3

x = 1

Step 2: To solve for y take one of the given equation of your choice (for the purpose of this explanation I will only do y = 3x - 5) and replace x with 1, then solve for y

y = 3(1) - 5

y = 3 - 5

y = -2

(1,-2)

Check:

-2 = 3(1) - 5 ---> - 2 = -2

-2 = 6(1) - 8 ---> -2 = -2

Hope this helped!
