John's average for making free throws in a basketball game is .80. In a one-and-one free throw situation (where he shoots a seco

nd basket only if he makes the first), what is the probability that he makes exactly one basket?

Answer:

0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

John has a free throw success rate of.80.

He can only take a second shot if he makes the first.

Thus, the required likelihood is the chance of hitting the initial shot followed by missing the next one.

The probability of a successful attempt is 0.8, which remains the same for each shot.

The probability of a miss is: 1-0.8 = 0.2 since there are two possible outcomes.

Therefore, the necessary probability = 0.8(1-0.2) = 0.16

The likelihood that John scores on the first attempt and misses the second is:
P(makes\ 1\ basket)=0.8\times(1-0.8)=0.16

Data were collected on two variables, x and y, to create a model to predict y from x. A scatterplot of the collected data reveal
Leona [12618]

Answer:

B - Taking the cube root of y

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

y = ax^3

Using that information

we now find the cube root of y

The computation is as follows:

y1/3 = a1/3 × x

Thus

From the above equation, a linear relationship can be observed between the cube root of y and x.

Consequently, option B is the correct choice.

Therefore, the other options are incorrect.

Straight angles Are extremely important in geometry. When two lines intersect , they form multiple angles. In the diagram below,
Inessa [12570]
When two straight lines cross, the vertically opposite angles created are equal, and the remaining two angles match each other as well. Suppose one known angle is x; then the two adjacent angles can be calculated by subtracting twice x from 360 degrees and dividing the remainder by 2.

Thus, the table fills out as follows:

Row 1:

Given angle <GEF = 120°

Angle <FEM is adjacent to <GEF, so
\angle FEM= \frac{360-2(120)}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{360-240}{2} = \frac{120}{2} =60^o

Angle <MEH is vertically opposite to <GEF, making it equal to 120°

Angle <HEG is vertically opposite <FEM, so it equals 60°.


Row 2:

Given angle <MEH = 150°

Since <MEH is vertically opposite to <GEF, <GEF = 150°

Angle <FEM is adjacent to <GEF, thus
\angle GEF= \frac{360-2(25)}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{360-50}{2} = \frac{310}{2} =155^o

Angle <HEG is vertically opposite to <FEM, so <HEG = 30°.


Row 3:

Given angle <FEM = 25°

Angle <FEM is adjacent to <GEF, thus
\angle GEF= \frac{360-2(25)}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{360-50}{2} = \frac{310}{2} =155^o

Angle <MEH is vertically opposite to <GEF, equal to 155°

Angle <HEG is vertically opposite <FEM, so it equals 25°.


Row 4:

Given angle <HEG = 45°

Angle <HEG is adjacent to <GEF, so
\angle GEF= \frac{360-2(45)}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{360-90}{2} = \frac{270}{2} =135^o

Angle <FEM is vertically opposite to <HEG and thus equals 45°

Angle <MEH is vertically opposite to <GEF, hence <MEH = 135°.

Radio blackouts are among the most common space weather events to affect Earth. Minor radio blackouts occur, on average, twice p
Zina [12379]

Answer:

a.  P(x = 3) = 0.061313

b. The anticipated number of radio blackouts = 4

c.  It's unclear when the next radio blackout will occur.

d. P(x = 4) = 0.19537

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the provided details:

A Poisson process is utilized to model the occurrence of this event:

Minor radio blackouts occur, on average, two times annually.

Therefore:

\lambda = 2 \ years

For question (a)

time t = 1/2 (i.e., six months)

Let x represent the likelihood of 3 incidents during the remaining months of the year.

Then:

P(x = 3) = \dfrac{e^{-\lambda t} \times (\lambda t)^x}{x!}

P(x = 3) = \dfrac{e^{-2* 0.5} \times (2 * 0.5)^3}{3!}

P(x = 3) = 0.061313

b).

The expected number of radio blackouts over two years is calculated as follows:

We start with:

t = 2 years

E(x) = λ × t

E(x) = 2 × 2

E(x) = 4

Thus, the predicted number of radio blackouts = 4

c).

The time we must wait until the probability of witnessing the next radio blackout reaches at least 0.5 is as follows:

In this case, time (t) =???

Thus:

P(x =1) = 0.5

P(x = 1) = \dfrac{e^{-\lambda t} \times (\lambda t)^x}{x!} = 0.5

\dfrac{e^{-\lambda t} \times (\lambda t)^x}{x!} = 0.5

Consequently, we are unable to ascertain the probability (50%) of the next radio blackout.

d)

We can compute the probability that the time until the fourth blackout is at most 2 years as follows:

Here;

x =4, t = 2

Thus:

P(x = 4) = \dfrac{e^{-4 } \times (4)^4}{4!}

P(x = 4) = 0.19537

A student writes the equation for a line that has a slope of -6 and passes through the point (2, –8). y -(-8) = -6(x - 2) y -(-8
Zina [12379]
The equation Y - (-8) = -6 (x-2) is accurate, but the rest are not.
This simplifies to y + 8 = -6x + 12.
Then, applying the subtraction of 8 yields y = -6x + 4, which is the correct slope-intercept form.
