Probability theory predicts that there is a 56.6% chance of a particular basketball player making 5 free throws in a row. If the

basketball player taking 5 free throws is simulated 5000 times, in about how many of the simulations would you expect at least 1 missed free throw?

Answer with explanation:

It is given that ,According to Probability theory  there is a 56.6% chance of a particular basketball player making 5 free throws in a row.

If, Number of throws=5,000

So, number of throws in which basketball player will make 5 free throws

    =56.6 % of 5,000

   =\frac{56.6}{100}\times 5000=2830

Number of Simulation , in which the basketball player can have at least 1 missed free throw

 = 5000-2830

=2170

According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with a mean of 23.3 ce
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

26.11% of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 23.3, \sigma = 1.4

In the United​ States, a​ woman's shoe size of 6 fits feet that are 22.4 centimeters long. What percentage of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 22.4. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{22.4 - 23.3}{1.4}

Z = -0.64

Z = -0.64 has a pvalue of 0.2611

26.11% of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller

Suppose T is the transformation from ℝ2 to ℝ2 that results from a reflection over the y-axis followed by a reflection over the x
LenKa [72]

<u>Answer:</u>

A = \begin{pmatrix}-1 & 0 \\0 & -1\end{pmatrix}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let, there be a point (x , y) in R2

After reflection on Y axis, it will be ( -x , y) and thereafter if we reflect the image over X -axis , it will be (-x , -y)

So,

we need to find out a matrix

[tex]\begin{pmatrix}a & b \\c & d\end{pmatrix}[tex]

such that,

(x , y) [tex]\begin{pmatrix}a & b \\c & d\end{pmatrix}[tex] = (-x. -y)

So, we  have the following set of equations.

ax + cy = -x ------------(1)

bx + dy= -y-----------(2)

We can get the solution (by inspection) as,

[tex]\begin{pmatrix}a & b \\c & d\end{pmatrix}[tex]

= [tex]\begin{pmatrix}-1 & 0 \\0 & -1\end{pmatrix}[tex]

So, the matrix is,

A = \begin{pmatrix}-1 & 0 \\0 & -1\end{pmatrix} (answer)

Jessica shoebox is 20 cm long and 10 cm wide. How many more millimetres is the length of the shoebox than the width?
Jet001 [13]
Ok so for every 1 centimeter you get 10 millimeters. Meaning that if you multiply 20 * 10 you get 200 millimeters and if you multiply 10 * 10 you get 100. Now you subtract 200-100 and you get 100 millimeters.

Mixing two kinds of candy the price of which was $2 and $4 per pound, Ella got a 10-lb mix of candy, which cost $2.90 per pound.
topjm [15]
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - Ella mixed<span> two kinds of candy the price of which was $2 and $4 per pound.
 - Ella got a 10-lb mix of candy, which cost $2.90 per pound. 
</span>
 2. Therefore, let's call:

 x: pounds of the first kind of candy.
 y: pounds of the second kind of candy.

 3. Then, you have:

 2x+4(10-x)=(2.90)(10)

 4. When you clear x, you obtain:

 2x+40-4x=29
 -2x=29-40
 x=-11/-2
 x=5.5 pounds

 x+y=10
 y=10-x
 y=10-5.5
 y=4.5 pounds
