The point guard of a basketball team has to make a decision about whether or not to shoot a three-point attempt or pass the ball

to another player who will shoot a two-point shot. The point guard makes three-point shots 30 percent of the time, while his teammate makes the two-point shot 48 percent of the time.
Xi 3 0
P(xi) 0.30 0.70


Xi 2 0
P(xi) 0.48 0.52




What is the expected value for each choice?


Should he pass the ball or take the shot himself? Explain.

the expected value for the 3 point shot = (3 * 0.30) + (0 * 0.70) = 0.90

the expected value for the 2 point shot = (2 * 0.48) + (0 * 0.52) = 0.96

the expected value for the 2 point shot is higher than the 3 point shot so he should pass the ball

The equation y = 14x represents the number of pages Printer A can print over time, where y is the number of pages and x is time
Crank
Printer A
y = 14x

Printer B
Time(min)       |  3  |  5  |  8  |  12  |
Pages printed | 48 | 80 | 128 | 192 |

Printer A prints 14(1) = 14 pages per minute.
Printer B prints 48/3 = 16 pages per minute.

The printer that prints at a faster rate is printer B.

Consider the equation 1.5x+4.5y=18. For each question, explain or show your reasoning.
Alchen [17]

Given:

The equation is

1.5x+4.5y=18

To find:

The y-intercept (in ordered pair).

Solution:

We have,

1.5x+4.5y=18

Putting x=0, we get

1.5(0)+4.5y=18

0+4.5y=18

4.5y=18

Divide both sides by 4.5.

y=\dfrac{18}{4.5}

y=4

So, y-intercept is 4.

Therefore, the graph intersect the y-axis at (0,4).
