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.

Three vertices of a parallelogram are shown in the figure below. Give the coordinates of the fourth vertex.
topjm [15]

Given:

The three vertices of a parallelogram are (-3,8), (4,5), (2,-5).

To find:

The fourth vertex of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Let the vertices of the parallelogram are A(-3,8), B(4,5), C(2,-5) and D(a,b).

We know that, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It means midpoints of both diagonals are same.

Midpoint formula:

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

Two diagonals of ABCD are AC and BD.

Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD

\left(\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{8-5}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)

\left(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)

On comparing both sides, we get

\dfrac{4+a}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}

4+a=-1

a=-1-4

a=-5

And,

\dfrac{5+b}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}

5+b=3

b=3-5

b=-2

Therefore, the coordinates of fourth vertex are (-5,-2).

It has long been reported that human body temperature follows a normal distribution with a mean of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Ther
Kay [80]

Solution :

The normal body temperature of any human body is considered to be 98.6$^\circ \ F$. But there is a constant debate about the body temperature of a long held standard to the body temperature.

It is given that :

Null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis :

$H_0 : \mu = 98.6$

And $H_A : \mu > 98.6$

n is given as = 180

Test statistics = 3.64

Prove = 0.018 < α = 0.05 (let reject null hypothesis for α = 0.05 )

Therefore, their results are statistically significant and the result is unlikely due to chance alone.
