Answer:

this is a pythagorean theorem problem. 24 is the whole ladder, and if you draw it out, is a hypotenuse. 8 is a leg. . so 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

b^2 = 512, so b = sqrt(512) = 22.6

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

(a) 0.6

(b) 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am reading the little table right, You have made 9 shots, and have missed 6 of them. Therefore, in total, you have made 9+6=15 shots.

The definition of probability is the number of events of a desired outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. Since you wish to make a shot for part a, the number of desired outcomes thus far is 9, out of 15 total shots. Thus,

P(making a shot)=\frac{9}{15}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6

Since making a shot and not making a shot are mutually exclusive events, and the only two events that could occur when shooting a basket, the probability of not making a shot and the probability of making a shot are all of the possible outcomes, and is thus equal to 1.

P(making a shot)+P(missing a shot) =1

P(missing a shot)=1-P(making a shot)

P(missing a shot)=1-0.6=0.4
