In basketball, Shaquille makes 40% of his free throw attempts. He goes to the free throw line to shoot one and one ( if he makes

the first shot, he gets to shoot one more). He scores 1 point per free throw. What is the expected value of the number of points he will score?

Situations:
1) he makes 1st shot + he makes 2nd shot
P(A) = 0.4 · 0.4 = 0.16  ( 16 % )
2) he makes 1 st shot + he misses 2nd shot
P(B) = 0.4 · 0.6 = 0.24   ( 24 % )
3) he misses 1st shot and he has no more attempts
P (C) = 0.6 ( 60 %)
0.16 · 2 + 0.24 · 1 + 0.6 · 0 = 0.32 + 0.34 = 0.56
The expected value is 0.56 points.

Maru [420]
I am not sure about this but here goes nothing: d=2.5t+2.2 is very familiar to y=mx+b y=d m=2.5 x=t b=2.2 to find a new quasion we substitute d and t into place wich equals 1=2.5(0)+b simplification and you get b=1 so your answer is d=2.5t+1

Which is a stretch of an exponential growth function? f(x) = Two-thirds (two-thirds) Superscript x f(x) = Three-halves (two-thir
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

f(x) = Three-halves (three-halves) Superscript x

f(x) = Two-thirds (three-halves) Superscript x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, a function in the form of f(x) = ab^x

Where, a and b are any constant,

is called exponential function,

There are two types of exponential function,

  • Growth function : If b > 1,
  • Decay function : if 0 < b < 1,

Since, In

f(x) =\frac{2}{3}(\frac{2}{3})^x

\frac{2}{3} < 1

Thus, it is a decay function.

in f(x) =\frac{3}{2}(\frac{2}{3})^x

\frac{2}{3} < 1

Thus, it is a decay function.

in f(x) =\frac{3}{2}(\frac{3}{2})^x

\frac{3}{2} > 1

Thus, it is a growth function.

in f(x) =\frac{2}{3}(\frac{3}{2})^x

\frac{3}{2} > 1

Thus, it is a growth function.

The table below shows the typical hours worked by employees at a company. A salaried employee makes $78,000 per year. Hourly emp
MrRa [10]

Given:

  • The table of typical hours worked by employees at a company
  • salaried employee makes $78,000 per year
  • hourly employees get $26 per hour and $39 per hour when they work more than 40 hours.

To Find: Which payment option to recommend to a new employee.

Solution: I would recommend being a salaried employee.

Explanation:

We begin by calculating the typical number of hours worked per week.

Adding up the hours from the table, we have 0+8+8.5+9.5+10+8+3=47.

The payment for an hourly employee must be calculated as $26 per hour for working till 40 hours, and $39 per hour when they work more than 40 hours.

So, the payment for 47 hours of work per week will be (26)(40) + (39)(7) = 1313 dollars.

As there are 52 weeks in a year, the yearly payment for an hourly emplyee would be (1313)(52) = 68276. That is, an hourly employee would earn $68276.

On the other hand, we are given that a salaried employee makes $78000 per year which is more money than what an hourly employee makes for the same amount of work.

Therefore, I would recommend a new emplyee to be paid a salary rather than work on an hourly basis.
