A basketball player makes 80% of his free throws. We set him on the free throw line and told him to shoot free throws until he misses. Let the random variable X be the number of free throws taken by the player until he misses. Assuming that his shots are independent, what is the probability of this player missing a free throw for the first time on the fifth attempt
Answer: 0.08192
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Probability of free throws = 0.80
Then, probability of missing the free throw = 1-0.80=0.20
Now, According to the negative binomial probability distribution, the probability that the rth success is achieved in xth trial is given by ;-
[tex]P(X=x)= pC_{r-1}^{x-1}p^{r-1}(1-p)^{(x-r}[/tex]
Put p = 0.20 , x=5 and r =1, we get
The probability of this player missing a free throw for the first time on the fifth attempt as [tex](0.20)\ ^{5-1}C_{1-1}(0.20)^{1-1}(1-0.20)^{5-1}[/tex]
[tex]= (0.20)\ ^{4}C_{0}(0.20)^{0}(0.80)^{4}\\\\=(0.20)(1)(0.80)^4\\\\=(0.20)(0.4096)\\\\=0.08192[/tex]
hence the required probability =0.08192

Which statement is true for the graph of f(x) = 2x2 - 6x2 - 48x + 24?
(Answers attached)
Answer:
min = (4, -136) ; max = (-2,80)
Step-by-step explanation:
The option is B
The (-2, 80) is a relative minimum, (4, -136) relative maximum option (C) is correct.
What is a function?It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.
It is given that:
The cubic function:
f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 48x + 24
Find f'(x):
f'(x) = 6x² - 12x - 48
Equate f'(x) to zero:
6x² - 12x - 48 = 0
Find the roots of the quadratic equation:
x = -2
x = 4
Find f''(x):
f''(x) = 12x - 12
Plug x = -2
f''(-2) = -24 - 12 = -36 < 0
At x = -2 f(x) is minimum
f(-2) = 80
Plug x = 4
f''(4) = 48 - 12 = 36 > 0
At x = 4 f(x) is maximum
f(4) = -136
Thus, the (-2, 80) is a relative minimum, and (4, -136) relative maximum option (C) is correct.

c=2×3.14r to find the circumference of a circle with a radius of 5 meters
Answer:
C≈31.42
r Radius 5
Answer these questions please please
Answer:
Step-by-step
i) a² - 2ab + b² = (a + b)²
a² = p² ; a = p
b² = 16 = 4² ; b = 4
2ab = 2*p*4 = 8p
p² - 8p + 16 = (p - 4)²
ii) a² + 2ab + b² = (a +b)²
a² = 121x² = (11x)² ; b² = 4y² = (2y)²
2ab = 2 * 11x * 2y = 44xy
121x² + 44xy + 4y² = (11x + 2y)²
Find the volume of oxygen in a room with the dimensions of 144.78 cm x 198.12 cm x 144.78
Answer:
4,152,842.53301 cm³ ≈ 4.1528 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectilinear room of those dimensions will be the product of those dimensions:
(144.78 cm)(198.12 cm)(144.78 cm) = 4,152,842.53301 cm³
A more appropriate unit for such a volume is cubic meters. There are a million cubic centimeters in a cubic meter, so the volume (to 5 significant digits) is ...
4.1528 m³
_____
We assume that any oxygen is uniformly distributed in the space, so the volume of oxygen will be the same as the volume of the room.
_____
Additional comment
These dimensions correspond to those of a room that is 57 inches square and 78 inches high.

Find the terminal point on the unit circle determined by pi radians.
Use exact values, not decimal approximations.
The terminal point on the unit circle determined by π radians is (-1, 0).
To find the terminal point on the unit circle determined by π radians, we can use the properties of the unit circle.
The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 unit centered at the origin (0, 0) in a coordinate plane. The point on the unit circle determined by an angle θ is given by (cosθ, sinθ).
Since we want to find the terminal point determined by π radians, we can substitute π into the formulas for cosine and sine:
x = cos(π) = -1
y = sin(π) = 0
The terminal point on the unit circle determined by π radians is (-1, 0).
It's important to note that on the unit circle, π radians corresponds to half of the circumference of the circle. In other words, it represents a point on the circle that is diametrically opposite to the point (1, 0) which corresponds to 0 radians.
By understanding the relationship between angles and their corresponding points on the unit circle, we can easily determine the coordinates of terminal points for various angles.

There are many ways to produce crooked dice. To load a die so that 6 comes up too often and 1 , which is opposite 6 , comes up too seldom, add a bit of lead to the filling of the spot on the 1 face. If a die is loaded so that 6 comes up with probability 0.2 and the probabilities of the 2,3,4 , and 5 faces are not affected, which of the choices is the correct assignment of probabilities to the six faces
Answer:
1 2 3 4 5 6
2 ÷ 15 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
As it is mentioned in the question that the probability of faces like 2,3,4,5 are not affected so in this case
P(2) = P(3) = P(4) = P(5) = 1 ÷ 6
And, P(6) = 0.2
As we know that
P(1) + P(2) +P(3) +P(4) +P(5) +P(6) = 1
This results P(1) = 2 ÷ 15
So,
1 2 3 4 5 6
2 ÷ 15 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 6 1 ÷ 5
Hence, the correct option is 2nd
Suppose a student just found out that she scored a 75 on her first statistics exam, with a z-score of 0.5. Her friend, who is in a different section with the same professor, also scored a 75 but had a z-score of −0.5. What can you conclude about the mean exam scores in the two classes?
Answer:
The mean exam scores in the second section is greater than the mean exam scores in the first section
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in making a conclusion.
Mathematically;
z-score = (score - mean)/SD
so basically, what determines the sign of the z-score is dependent entirely on the mean.
If the mean is larger than the score, we will have a negative z-score. If the mean is smaller than the score, then will have a positive z-score
So basically what drives the sign is the mean value since the scores are the same for both students in this case, irrespective of the standard deviation in both classes.
So, for the first girl with a positive z-score, we can conclude that her score is larger than the mean; while for the second girl with a negative z-score, her score is smaller to the mean.
Thus, what we conclude here is that the mean score of the second section with the professor is greater than the mean score of the first section with the professor.

Una lancha que viaja a 10 m/s pasa por debajo de un puente 3 segundos después que ha pasado un bote que viaja a 7 m/s, ¿después de cuántos metros la lancha alcanzará al bote?
Answer:
La lancha y el bote se encontrarán a 70 metros de distancia del puente.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sea el punto debajo del puente el punto de referencia y que ambas lanchas se desplazan a velocidad a continuación, las ecuaciones cinemáticas para cada embarcación son presentadas a continuación:
Bote a 7 metros por segundo
[tex]x_{A} = x_{o}+v_{A}\cdot t[/tex] (Ec. 1)
Lancha a 10 metros por segundo
[tex]x_{B} = x_{o}+v_{B}\cdot (t-3\,s)[/tex] (Ec. 2)
Donde:
[tex]x_{o}[/tex] - Posición debajo del puente, medido en metros.
[tex]x_{A}[/tex], [tex]x_{B}[/tex] - Posición final de cada embarcación, medido en metros.
[tex]v_{A}[/tex], [tex]v_{B}[/tex] - Velocidad de cada embarcación, medida en metros por segundo.
[tex]t[/tex] - Tiempo, medido en segundos.
Para determinar la posición en la que ambas embarcaciones se encuentran, se debe determinar el instante en que ocurre a partir de la siguiente condición: [tex]x_{A} = x_{B}[/tex]
Igualando (Ec. 1) y (Ec. 2) se tiene que:
[tex]v_{A}\cdot t = v_{B}\cdot (t-3\,s)[/tex]
Ahora despejamos el tiempo:
[tex]3\cdot v_{B} = (v_{B}-v_{A})\cdot t[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{3\cdot v_{B}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}[/tex]
Si sabemos que [tex]v_{B} = 10\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] y [tex]v_{A} = 7\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], entonces:
[tex]t = \frac{3\cdot \left(10\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{10\,\frac{m}{s}-7\,\frac{m}{s}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 10\,s[/tex]
Ahora, la posición de encuentro es: ([tex]x_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{A} = 7\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] y [tex]t = 10\,s[/tex])
[tex]x_{A} = 0\,m + \left(7\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (10\,s)[/tex]
[tex]x_{A} = 70\,m[/tex]
La lancha y el bote se encontrarán a 70 metros de distancia del puente.

Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
1. if to guess the Caleb's age is 'x' years and Linda's age is 'y' years now, then
2. according to the 'sum of the ages of Caleb and Linda is 55 years' it may be written: x+y=55 - the first equation of the system;
3. according to the condition '8 years ago, Caleb's age was 2 times Linda's age' it may be written: (x-8)(y-8)=2 - the second equation of the system;
