Answers:

  • (a) 0.64
  • (b) 0.04

============================================

Explanation:

Assuming each kick is independent of any other, this means the probability of making two field goals in a row is 0.8*0.8 = 0.64

The probability of missing any single field goal is 1-0.8 = 0.2; so the probability of missing two in a row is 0.2*0.2 = 0.04

----------------

Extra info:

Adding up those results shows that 0.64+0.04 = 0.68 is the probability of either making 2 in a row or missing 2 in a row; that leaves 1-0.68 = 0.32 to represent the probability of making exactly one field goal in either order.

Or you could note that 0.8*0.2+0.2*0.8 = 0.32

What's the answer to this
White raven [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle CDB is the supplementary angle to 9x+10 (angle ADC).

that means they stand together for 180°. as all angles around a single point on one side of a line are together always 180°.

and then, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

so,

CDB + (4x + 10) + 50 = 180

CDB = 180 - (9x + 10) = 180 - 9x - 19 = 170 - 9x

therefore,

(170 - 9x) + (4x + 10) + 50 = 180

170 - 9x + 4x + 10 + 50 = 180

-5x = -50

5x = 50

x = 10

angle CDB = 170 - 9x = 170 - 90 = 80°

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

1, 2, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score shows by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean, \ \sigma=standard\ deviation

Given that mean (μ) = 130 texts, standard deviation (σ) = 20 texts

1) For x < 90:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{90-130}{20} =-2

From the normal distribution table, P(x < 90) = P(z < -2) = 0.0228 = 2.28%

Option 1 is correct

2) For x > 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{130-130}{20} =0

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 130) = P(z > 0) = 1 - P(z < 0) = 1 - 0.5 = 50%

Option 2 is correct

3) For x > 190:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{190-130}{20} =3

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 3) = P(z > 3) = 1 - P(z < 3) = 1 - 0.9987 = 0.0013 = 0.13%

Option 3 is incorrect

4)  For x < 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{130-130}{20} =0

For x > 100:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{100-130}{20} =-1.5

From the normal table, P(100 < x < 130) = P(-1.5 < z < 0) = P(z < 0) - P(z < 1.5) = 0.5 - 0.0668 = 0.9332 = 93.32%

Option 4 is incorrect

5)  For x = 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{130-130}{20} =0

Option 5 is incorrect

6)  For x = 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{160-130}{20} =1.5

Since 1.5 is between 1 and 2, option 6 is correct
