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

Leona [9271]
A rectangle is defined as a two-dimensional figure that features two pairs of equal, parallel sides. Its dimensions consist of length (L) and width (W). The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula that multiplies these two dimensions together. The perimeter can be expressed as

P = 2L + 2W.

Given that
A = LW = 64
therefore, W = 64/L.
Substituting this value into the perimeter formula yields

P = 2L + 2(64/L)
P = 2L + 128/L.

An investment of $7,650 earns interest at the rate of 5% and is compounded quarterly. What is the accumulated value of the inves
zzz [9080]
FV = P(1 + r/t)^nt, where P denotes the principal amount, r is the interest rate, t is the frequency of compounding per year, and n is the total number of years.

Calculating: FV = 7650(1 + 0.05/4)^(9 x 4) = 7650(1 + 0.0125)^36 = 7650(1.0125)^36 = 7650(1.564) = $11,964.17

Joaquin is four more than half Marjorie’s age. Marjorie is also 32 less than three times Joaquin’s age.
babunello [8412]

Answer:

Her age is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jerry's age be represented as j

Let Marjorie's age be denoted as m

The first part of the question states:

j = 4 + m/2

For the second equation:

m = 3j - 32

Multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

2j = 8 + m

Leading to m = 2j - 8

Set both equations for m equal to each other:

2j - 8 = 3j - 32

By simplifying, we get:

3j - 2j = 32 - 8

Therefore, j = 24

Now substituting back:

m = 2j - 8

m = 2(24) - 8

Thus, m = 48 - 8

Final result: m = 40

the number of years that brad has been on the soccer team is 2 less than 5 times the number of years that scott has in total the
PIT_PIT [9117]
Let the number of years Brad has been on the soccer team be represented by x, and let y represent the number of years Scott has been on the same team.

From the information given, we formulate the equations:
5y - 2 = x -----(1)

x + y = 10 -----(2)

Now, substituting equation (1) into equation (2):
5y - 2 + y = 10
6y - 2 = 10
6y = 12
y = 2
Next, substituting this value back to find x:
x = 5×2 - 2
x = 8

So, Brad has spent a total of 8 years in the team.
