A football quarterback enjoys practicing his long passes over 40 yards. He misses the first pass 40% of the time. When he misses

on the first pass, he misses the second pass 20% of the time. What is the probability of missing two passes in a row?

Answer:

Probability of missing two passes in a row is 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Event E = A football player misses twice in a row.

P(E) = ?

Event X = Football player misses the first pass

P(X) = 0.4

Event Y = Football player misses just after he first miss

P(Y) = 0.2

Both the events are exclusive so the probability of occuring of these two events can be calculated by the formula:

P(E) = P(X).P(Y)

P(E) = 0.4*0.2

P(E) = 0.08

avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.0286 = 2.86% probability that today is Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Dressed correctly

Event B: Monday

Probability of being dressed correctly:

100% = 1 out of 4/7(mom dresses).

(0.5)^3 = 0.125 out of 3/7(toddler dresses himself). So

P(A) = 0.125\frac{3}{7} + \frac{4}{7} = \frac{0.125*3 + 4}{7} = \frac{4.375}{7} = 0.625

Probability of being dressed correctly and being Monday:

The toddler dresses himself on Monday, so (0.5)^3 = 0.125 probability of him being dressed correctly, 1/7 probability of being Monday, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.125\frac{1}{7} = 0.0179

What is the probability that today is Monday?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0179}{0.625} = 0.0286

0.0286 = 2.86% probability that today is Monday.

I need answers ASAP!!!
Trava [24]

Answer:

C) Both statements could be correct. RST could be the result of two translations of ABC. TSR could be the result of a reflection and a translation of ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

When naming congruent shapes, the <u>orders of the congruent vertex letters need to be the same</u>.

Since these are isosceles triangles, the base angles are the same:

m∠R = m∠T = m∠A = m∠C

Therefore the congruency statement can be written two different ways.

ΔABC ≅ ΔRST

ΔABC ≅ ΔTSR

Both statements could be correct.

Choosing between B) and C):

To move ΔABC to where ΔRST or ΔTSR is, you could either:

i) Translate 6 units to the left, and translate 3 units down

ii) Reflect across the y-axis, and translate 3 units down

It can be the result of two translations or a reflection and a translation.

In the result, the base side RT is on the bottom of the shape, like side AC. If you rotated the shape, the base side would not be on the bottom. Therefore B) is incorrect.
