A basketball player claims to make 47% of her shots from the field. We want to simulate the player taking sets of 10 shots, assu

ming that her claim is true. Twenty-five repetitions of the simulation were performed. The simulated number of makes in each set of 10 shots was recorded on the dot plot below.
What is the approximate probability that a 47% shooter makes 5 or more shots in 10 attempts

8 0

Answer:

0.9 or 90%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of shot is 47%

The probability of no shot is 100 -47 = 53%

The dot plot is made from the 10 repeated shots which recorded 25 scores.

The number of dots on the fifth tick is 9 of 10 shots

therefore; 9/10 = 0.9, which 90 in percentage.

A student wants to determine if pennies are really fair when flipped, meaning equally likely to land heads up or tails up. He fl
Verdich [7]

Answer:

For this case we want to determine  if pennies are really fair when flipped, meaning equally likely to land head up or tails, so then the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p=0.5

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to determine  if pennies are really fair when flipped, meaning equally likely to land head up or tails, so then the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p=0.5

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.5

If e = 9 cm and f = 40 cm, what is the length of g?
rewona [7]

(9,40,41) is a Pythagorean Triple, farther down the list than teachers usually venture.

Answer: D. 41 cm

There's a subset of Pythagorean Triples where the long leg is one less than the hypotenuse,

a^2+b^2 = (b+1)^2

a^2 + b^2 = b^2 + 2b +1

a^2=2b+1

So we get one for every odd number, since the square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.

b = (a^2 - 1)/2

a=3, b=(3^2-1)/2=4, c=b+1=5

a=5, b=(5^2-1)/2 =12, c = 13

a=7, b=24, c=25

a=9, b=40, c=41

a=11, b=60, c=61

a=13, b=84, c=85

It's good to be able to recognize Pythagorean Triples when we see them.  

Otherwise we'd have to work the calculator:

√(9² + 40²) = √1681 = 41

For a certain type of copper wire, it is knownthat, on the average, 1.5 flaws occur per millimeter.Assuming that the number of f
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The probability that no flaws occur in a certain portion of wire of length 5 millimeters =  1.1156 occur / millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>:-

Given data A copper wire, it is known that, on the average, 1.5 flaws occur per millimeter.

by  Poisson random variable given that λ = 1.5 flaws/millimeter

Poisson distribution P(X= r) = \frac{e^{-\alpha } \alpha ^{r} }{r!}

<u>Step 2:</u>-

The probability that no flaws occur in a certain portion of wire

P(X= 0) = \frac{e^{-1.5 } \(1.5) ^{0} }{0!}

On simplification we get

P(x=0) = 0.223 flaws occur / millimeters

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

The probability that no flaws occur in a certain portion of wire of length 5 millimeters = 5 X P(X=0) = 5X 0.223 = 1.1156 occur / millimeters
