Tommy the Dunker's performance on the basketball court is influenced by his state of mind: If he scores, he is twice as likely to score on the next shot as he is to miss, whereas if he misses a shot, he is six times as likely to miss the next shot as he is to score.

Required:
a. If Tommy has missed a shot, what is the probability that he will score two shots later?
b. In the long term, what percentage of shots are successful?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of of winning next shot if he scores= 0.5

Probability of missing next shot if he misses = 1/6

a) Probability of scoring 2 shots later if he missed = (1-1/6)^2

=(5/6)^2

=25/36

b) % of successful shots= (1/2+5/6×(1/100))%

=4/3×1/100

=0.013%

A and B are complementary to each other. If m∠A = 26° + x and m∠B = 38° + x, what is the value of x?
A.13°
B.14°
C.58°
D.18°

Please don't reply just for the points, I really need help understanding these things, if possible please leave me an explanation on how you got this. P.S Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees

Answers

A. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are given....

∠A = 26° + x

∠B = 38° + x

∠A and ∠B are complementary

If complementary angles add up to equal 90° and ∠A and ∠B are complementary to each other

Then 26 + x + 38 + x = 90

                      ^ ( Note that we just created an equation that we can use to                              solve for x )

Now its just basic algebra

26 + x + 38 + x = 90

step 1 combine like terms

26 + 38 = 64

x + x = 2x

we now have 64 + 2x = 90

step 2 subtract 64 from each side

64 - 64 cancels out

90 - 64 = 26

we now have 26 = 2x

step 3 divide each side by 2

26 / 2 = 13

2x / 2 = x

we're left with x = 13

Lesley purchased 5 beads at a total cost of 80 cents. The round beads cost 15 cents each, and the oval beads cost 20 each. The equations and graph below can be used to determine the number of each type of bead kesley purchased. Where x represents the number of round beads and y represents the number of oval beads. What are the numbers of round and oval beads Kelsey purchased?

Answers

Answer:

Lesley purchased 1 oval bead and 4 round beands.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lesley purchased 5 beads at a total cost of 80 cents, and the round beads cost 15 cents each, and the oval beads cost 20 each, to determine what are the numbers of round and oval beads Kelsey purchased, the following calculation must be performed :

5 x 0.20 + 0 x 0.15 = 1

4 x 0.20 + 1 x 0.15 = 0.95

2 x 0.20 + 3 x 0.15 = 0.85

1 x 0.20 + 4 x 0.15 = 0.80

Therefore, Lesley purchased 1 oval bead and 4 round beands.

Answer:

no, it wont

Step-by-step explanation:

2g.h = v²

2(33)(40) = v²

v=√2640 = 51.38 ft/s

36 < 51.38

X= root (y-1/y+1) ( make “y” as subject. ) number 19

Answers

Answer:

y = (x² + 1) / (1 – x²)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = √[(y – 1)/(y + 1)]

We can make y the subject of the expression as shown below:

x = √[(y – 1)/(y + 1)]

Take the square of both side

x² = (y – 1) /(y + 1)

Cross multiply

x²(y + 1) = (y – 1)

Clear bracket

x²y + x² = y – 1

Rearrange

x² + 1 = y – x²y

Factorise

x² + 1 = y(1 – x²)

Divide both side by (1 – x²)

y = (x² + 1) / (1 – x²)
