They’ve already played 20 games and there are 40 remaining, so 60 total games.
80 * .625 = 37.5, so they need to win at least 38 games to make the playoffs. So they must win 30 more games. If they do so they’ll have won 38 out of 60. Winning 2 games out of 5 in the playoffs means their total is 40 out of 65. 40/65 = .6153 = 61.5%.

1. Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1,
zzz [600]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Miguel is playing a game

The box contains 4 chips, 2 with number 1, and other two differntly numbered as 3 and 5.

OUt of these 4, 2 chips are drawn

P(drawing same number) = 2C2/4C2 =\frac{1}{6}

Prob (drawing differnt numbers) = 1-1/6 =\frac{5}{6}

Hence prob of winning 2 dollars = \frac{1}{6}

Prob of losing 1 dollar = \frac{5}{6}

b) Expected value = sum of prob x amount won

= \frac{1}{6}2+\frac{5}{6}(-1)=-\frac{1}{2}

c) Miguel can expect to lose 1/2 dollars for every game he plays

d) If it is to be a fair game expected value =0

i.e. let the amount assigned be s

Then \frac{1}{6}s-\frac{5}{6}=0\\s=5

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 5 y=5y, equals, 5 and that passes through the point ( − 7 , − 5 ) (−7,
Jlenok [28]
The line of the equation perpendicular to y=5 and cuts through (-5,-7) will be given by
m(x-x1)=y-y1
where m=slope.
from y=0x+5, the slope of the perpendicular line m=0,
thus the equation will be:
0(x--5)=y--7
0=y+7
y=-7
The equation is y=-7

How many nonzero elements are in the matrix below?
yawa3891 [41]

we will find number of non-zero elements on each rows

and then we add them

First row:

we can see that non-zero elements are

2 , 3.1 , 22 , 9

so, number of non-zero elements in first row =4

Second row:

we can see that non-zero elements are

21 , 3.2 , 6

so, number of non-zero elements in first row =3

Third row:

we can see that non-zero elements are

1 , 42 , 8

so, number of non-zero elements in first row =3

Fourth row:

we can see that non-zero elements are

40 ,4 , 6,14

so, number of non-zero elements in first row =4

Fifth row:

we can see that non-zero elements are

10 , 20 , 13 , 5 , 6.3

so, number of non-zero elements in first row =5

now, we can add them

so,

total number of non-zero elements = 4 +3+3+4+5

so,

total number of non-zero elements is 19...........Answer

Which identity could be the missing step to verify the identity (cos theta)(csc theta)=cot theta
N76 [4]
(cosx)(cscx) = cotx
cscx = 1/sinx
(cosx)(1/sinx) = (cosx/sinx)
cosx/sinx = cotx

Basically, I noticed that cscx is equivalent to 1 divided by sinx, and then multiplied that fraction by cosx, which got me cosx/sinx. Your quotient identities will tell you that cosx/sinx = cotx
