A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability

is P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt) .
Which notation is the probability of the two events being independent?




​ P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 1st attempt and made 2nd attempt)P(made 1st attempt) ​

​ P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)P(made 1st attempt) ​

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 1st attempt)P(made 2nd attempt)

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

If you divide 380 by 20, you get 19. To check this, multiply 20 x 19 to see 380. Hope this helps :D

Nicole has nine dollars to spend on cards she finds friends with the same amount of money to split the cost of a set once it cos
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Each Friend will get \frac{x}{3} cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cards be x.

Given:

Amount Nicole used to spend on cards = $9

Total cost of one set =$27

Also, she finds friends with the same amount of money to split the cost of a set.

So, Number of friends she finds can be calculated by dividing the Cost of 1 set  with amount of money Nichole used to spend on cards.

Number of friends she finds = \frac{27}{9} = 3

Hence she finds 2 friends and 1 is nichole hence there are 3 persons carrying $9 to buy $27 set of card

Now, Number of cards each friend gets is equal to Total number of Cards in 1 set divided by number of people.

Number of cards each friend = \frac{x}{3}

Hence Each Friend will get \frac{x}{3} cards.

Resource Allocation You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quar
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

in order to use up all the eggs and cream, the number of quarts of each flavor that should be made is;

Creamy vanilla x = 200 quarts

Continental mocha y = 100 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha that should be made in order to use up all the eggs and cream respectively.

For Creamy Vanilla go 2 eggs and 3 cups of cream

For Continental Mocha go 1 egg and 3 cups of cream.

Total number of eggs = 500 eggs

Total number of cream cups = 900 cups.

For the eggs;

2 eggs × x + 1 egg × y = 500

2x + y = 500 .......1

For the cream cups;

3 cups × x + 3 cups × y = 900

3x + 3y = 900

Dividing through by 3

x + y = 300 .......2

Solving the simultaneous equation;

Subtracting equation 2 from 1

(2x + y) - (x+y) = 500-300

2x -x = 200

x = 200

Substituting x = 200 into equation 2;

200 + y = 300

y = 300 - 200

y = 100

Therefore, in order to use up all the eggs and cream, the number of quarts of each flavor that should be made is;

Creamy vanilla x = 200 quarts

Continental mocha y = 100 quarts
