John's average for making free throws in a basketball game is .80. In a one-and-one free throw situation (where he shoots a seco

nd basket only if he makes the first), what is the probability that he makes exactly one basket?

Answer:

0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that John's average for making free throws in a basketball game is .80.

He can get a chance for II throw only if he hits the first

So required probability = Prob that he hits the first but misses the second

Prob for hitting a single trial = 0.8 which is constant for each throw

Prob for missing a single trial = 1-0.8 = 0.2 since there are only two outcomes

Hence required probability = 0.8(1-0.2) = 0.16

The probability of John making the first and missing the second is:
P(makes\ 1\ basket)=0.8\times(1-0.8)=0.16

Sophie [7]
A + B + C = 476
A = 3B + 6
C = B + 45

now its just a matter of subbing..
A + B + C = 476
(3B + 6) + B + (B + 45) = 476...combine like terms
5B + 51 = 476
5B = 476 - 51
5B = 425
B = 425/5
B = 85 <== team B scored 85

A = 3B + 6
A = 3(85) + 6
A = 255 + 6
A = 261 <=== team A scored 261

C = B + 45
C = 85 + 45
C = 130 <=== team C scored 130

Problem 2.2.4 Your Starburst candy has 12 pieces, three pieces of each of four flavors: berry, lemon, orange, and cherry, arrang
kkurt [141]

Answer:

a) P=0

b) P=0.164

c) P=0.145

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 pieces, with 3 of each of the 4 flavors.

You draw the first 4 pieces.

a) The probability of getting all of the same flavor is 0, because there are only 3 pieces of each flavor. Once you get the 3 of the same flavor, there are only the other flavors remaining.

b) The probability of all 4 being from different flavor can be calculated as the multiplication of 4 probabilities.

The first probability is for the first draw, and has a value of 1, as any flavor will be ok.

The second probability corresponds to drawing the second candy and getting a different flavor. There are 2 pieces of the flavor from draw 1, and 9 from the other flavors, so this probability is 9/(9+2)=9/11≈0.82.

The third probability is getting in the third draw a different flavor from the previos two draws. We have left 10 candys and 4 are from the flavor we already picked. Then the third probabilty is 6/10=0.6.

The fourth probability is getting the last flavor. There are 9 candies left and only 3 are of the flavor that hasn't been picked yet. Then, the probability is 3/9=0.33.

Then, the probabilty of picking the 4 from different flavors is:

P=1\cdot\dfrac{9}{11}\cdot\dfrac{6}{10}\cdot\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{162}{990}\approx0.164

c) We can repeat the method for the previous probabilty.

The first draw has a probability of 1 because any flavor is ok.

In the second draw, we may get the same flavor, with probability 2/11, or we can get a second flavor with probability 9/11. These two branches are ok.

For the third draw, if we have gotten 2 of the same flavor (P=2/11), we have to get a different flavor (we can not have 3 of the same flavor). This happen with probability 9/10.

If we have gotten two diffente flavors, there are left 4 candies of the picked flavors in the remaining 10 candies, so we have a probabilty of 4/10.

For the fourth draw, independently of the three draws, there are only 2 candies left that satisfy the condition, so we have a probability of 2/9.

For the first path, where we pick 2 candies of the same flavor first and 2 candies of the same flavor last, we have two versions, one for each flavor, so we multiply this probability by a factor of 2.

We have then the probabilty as:

P=2\cdot\left(1\cdot\dfrac{2}{11}\right)\cdot\left(\dfrac{9}{10}\cdot\dfrac{2}{9}\right)+\left(1\cdot\dfrac{9}{11}\cdot\dfrac{4}{10}\cdot\dfrac{2}{9}\right)\\\\\\P=2\cdot\dfrac{36}{990}+\dfrac{72}{990}=\dfrac{144}{990}\approx0.145

Initially 5 grams of salt are dissolved into 10 liters of water. Brine with concentration of salt 5 grams per liter is added at
DiKsa [7]

Salt flows in at a rate of (5 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 15 g/min.

Salt flows out at a rate of (x/10 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 3x/10 g/min.

So the net flow rate of salt, given by x(t) in grams, is governed by the differential equation,

x'(t)=15-\dfrac{3x(t)}{10}

which is linear. Move the x term to the right side, then multiply both sides by e^{3t/10}:

e^{3t/10}x'+\dfrac{3e^{t/10}}{10}x=15e^{3t/10}

\implies\left(e^{3t/10}x\right)'=15e^{3t/10}

Integrate both sides, then solve for x:

e^{3t/10}x=50e^{3t/10}+C

\implies x(t)=50+Ce^{-3t/10}

Since the tank starts with 5 g of salt at time t=0, we have

5=50+C\implies C=-45

\implies\boxed{x(t)=50-45e^{-3t/10}}

The time it takes for the tank to hold 20 g of salt is t such that

20=50-45e^{-3t/10}\implies t=\dfrac{20}3\ln\dfrac32\approx2.7031\,\mathrm{min}
