Answer:
Is plausible that the successive throws are independent
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Table with info given
The observed values are given by the following table
__________________________________________________
First shot Made Second shot missed Total
__________________________________________________
Made 152 33 185
Missed 37 8 45
__________________________________________________
Total 189 41 230
2) Calculations and test
We are interested on check independence and for this we need to conduct a chi square test, the next step would be find the expected value:
Null hypothesis: Independence between two successive free throws
Alternative hypothesis: No Independence between two successive free throws
_____________________________________________________
First shot Made Second shot missed
_____________________________________________________
Made 189(185)/230=152.0217 41(185)/230=32.9783
Missed 189(45)/230=36.9783 41(45)/230=8.0217
_____________________________________________________
On this case all the expected values are higher than 5 and the sample size 230 is enough to apply the chi squared test.
3) Calculate the chi square statistic
The statistic for this case is given by:
Where O represent the observed values and E the expected values. Replacing the values that we got we have this
Now with the calculated value we can find the degrees of freedom
on this case r means the number of rows and c the number of columns.
Now we can calculate the p value
On this case the pvalue is a very large value and that indicates that we can fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence. So is plausible that the successive throws are independent.
Answer:
See Below
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is a piecewise function defined as:
a)
We need to find the limit of the function as t goes to infinity. This means what is the max value of fish in the pond given times goes to infinity (on an on).
We will take the 2nd part of the equation since t falls into that range, t is infinity, which is definitely greater than 8.
This means the maximum number of fish at this pond is 1600, no matter how long it goes on.
b)
A function is continuous at a point if we have the limit and the functional value at that point same.
Functional value at t = 8 is (we use 2nd part of equation):
We do have a value and limit also goes to this as t approaches 8.
So, function is continuous at t = 8
c)
We want to find is there a "time" when the number of fishes in the pond is 250, during t from 0 to 6. We plug in 250 into N(t) and try to find t. Make sure to use the 1st part of the piece-wise function. Shown below:
The time is 4 years when the number of fishes in the pond is 250
