When a certain basketball player takes his first shot in a game he succeeds with probability 1/2. If he misses his first shot, h

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

we are given

basketball player Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons makes free throw shots 88% of the time

so, probability of making shot is

=88%

so, p=0.88

To find the probability of missing first shot and making the second shot

so, we can use formula

probability = p(1-p)

now, we can plug values

we get

So, the probability that he misses his first shot and makes the second is 0.1056........Answer

Five molecules have speeds of 2.8, 3.2, 5.8, 7.3, and 7.4 m/s. their root-mean-square speed is closest to

frosja888 [35]

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

the root mean square speed, is the square root of the average (mean) of all of the square of the speeds of individual particles in a gas.

step 1
find the square of the speeds of individual particles
2.8²----> 7.84
3.2²---->10.24
5.8²----> 33.64
7.3²----> 53.29
7.4²---> 54.76
average=[7.84+10.24+33.64+53.29+54.76]/5-----> 159.77/5----> 31.954

step 2
find the square root of the average
√31.954=5.65

therefore

the answer is
the option b) 5.7 m/s

Color blindness is an inherited characteristic that is more common in males than in females. If M represents male and C represen

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected person is not color blind is 0.958

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

C represents red-green color blindness,

Also, the probability that a randomly selected person is color blind,

P(C) = 0.042,

Thus, probability that a randomly selected person is not color blind,

P(C') = 1 - P(C) = 1 - 0.042 = 0.958

A bakery sells rolls in units of a dozen. The demand X (in 1000 units) for rolls has a gamma distribution with parameters α = 3,

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The value is $E(X) = \$ 1.7067$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The parameters are α = 3, θ = 0.5

The cost of making a unit on the first day is c = $2

The selling price of a unit on the first day is s = $5

The selling price of a leftover unit on the second day is v = $ 1

Generally the profit of a unit on the first day is

$p_1 = 5 - 2$

$p_1 = \$3$

The profit of a unit on the second day is

$p_2 = 1 - 2$

=> $p_2 = - \$1$

Generally the probability of making profit greater than $ 1 is mathematically represented as

$P(X > 1 ) = Gamma (X ,\alpha , \theta)$

=> $P(X > 1 ) = Gamma (1 ,3 , 0.5)$

Now from the gamma distribution table we have that

$P(X > 1 ) = 0.67668$

Generally the probability of making profit less than or equal to $ 1 is mathematically represented as

$P(X \le 1 ) = 1 - P(X > 1 )$

=> $P(X \le 1 ) = 1 - 0.67668$

=> $P(X \le 1 ) = 0.32332$

So the probability of making $3 is $P(X > 1 ) = 0.67668$

and the probability of making -$1 is $P(X \le 1 ) = 0.32332$

Generally the value of profit per day is mathematically represented as

$E(X) = 3 * P(X > 1 ) + (-1 * P(X \le 1 ) )$

=> $E(X) = 3 * 0.67668 + (-1 * 0.32332 )$

=> $E(X) = \$ 1.7067$
