Answer: 0.5898

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  J.J. Redick of the Los Angeles Clippers had a free throw shooting percentage of 0.901 .

We assume that,

The probability that .J. Redick makes any given free throw =0.901  (1)

Free throws are independent.

So it is a binomial distribution .

Using binomial probability formula, the probability of getting success in x trials :

P(X=x)^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

, where n= total trials

p= probability of getting in each trial.

Let x be binomial variable that represents the number of a=makes.

n= 14

p= 0.901     (from (1))

The probability that he makes at least 13 of them will be :-

P(x\geq13)=P(x=13)+P(x=14)

=^{14}C_{13}(0.901)^{13}(1-0.901)^1+^{14}C_{14}(0.901)^{14}(1-0.901)^0\\\\=(14)(0.901)^{13}(0.099)+(1)(0.901)^{14}\ \ [\because\ ^nC_n=1\ \&\ ^nC_{n-1}=n ]\\\\\approx0.3574+0.2324=0.5898

∴ The required probability = 0.5898

djyliett [7]

Answer: 33.041666

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The translated equation : 300x+y = 10000

To find the value of x if y = 87.5, we need to substitute the value of y in the given translated equation, we will get

300x+87.5 = 10000

Subtract 87.5 from both the sides , we get

300x=9912.5

Now, divide 300 on both the sides, we get

x=\frac{9912.5}{300}\\\\\Rightarrow x=33.041666666

Which statements are true about the graph of y < Two-thirdsx + 1? Check all that apply. The slope of the line is 1. The line
Marina CMI [18]

The answer would be:

The x-intercept of the boundary line is (-3/2, 0).

The area below the line is shaded.

The slope of the line should be 2/3. The area below the line shaded because the function using y<.....

Coordinate 2,3 doesn't fulfill the function. 

y < 2/3x + 1

3 < 2/3(2)+1

3< 4/3+1

3< 2.3    ---->false

X intercept is when the y variable is zero. If you put it to the equation

 y = 2/3x + 1

0= 2/3x+1

2/3x= -1

x= -3/2
