In a high school basketball game, a player on the home team makes two free throws. One student asks the student next to her what

he thinks the probability of hitting two free throws in a row is. The student replies, "The probability of him making a free throw is probably about .6, so hitting two free throws is probably about 1.2." Why can this immediately be dismissed as incorrect?
A.
The final number, 1.2, is a fraction, which can never represent a probability.
B.
The probability of making a free throw can never be .6.
C.
The probability of an event happening twice in a row can never be equal.
D.
The final number is greater than 1, which is not a valid probability.

What is the difference of polynomials (8r6s3-9r5s4+3r4s5)-(2r4s-5r6-4r5s4)
Alinara [238K]
If you would like to solve <span>(8r^6s^3 – 9r^5s^4 + 3r^4s^5) – (2r^4s^5 – 5r^3s^6 – 4r^5s^4), you can do this using the following steps:

</span>(8r^6s^3 – 9r^5s^4 + 3r^4s^5) – (2r^4s^5 – 5r^3s^6 – 4r^5s^4) = 8r^6s^3 – 9r^5s^4 + 3r^4s^5 – 2r^4s^5 + 5r^3s^6 + 4r^5s^4 = 8r^6s^3 – 5r^5s^4 + r^4s^5<span> + 5r^3s^6
</span>
The correct result would be 8r^6s^3 – 5r^5s^4 + r^4s^5<span> + 5r^3s^6.</span>
