Dakota saw an advertisement for a loan that offered a 0% APR for 18 months.

A basketball player has made 70% of his foul shots during the season. Assuming the shots are independent, find the probability

bija089 [108]

Answer:

a) 0.07203

b) 0.0189

c) 0.973

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of making one shot, for the player = 70% = 0.70

Probability of NOT making a shot = 1 - 0.70 = 0.30

Assuming that the shots are independent

a) Misses for the first time on his fifth attempt

For him to miss on his for the first time on his fifth attempt, he has to make the first four shots

The required probability = (0.7)⁴(0.3) = 0.07203

b) Makes his first basket on his fourth shot

For him to make his first basket on the fourth shot, he has to miss the first three shots.

Required probability = (0.3)³(0.7) = 0.0189

c) Makes his first basket on one of his first 3 shots

This is a sum of probabilities; that is, he could make the first basket on the first shot, or miss on the first shot and make the second shot or miss on the first two shots and make the basket on the third shot.

Required probability

= (0.70) + (0.3×0.7) + (0.3×0.3×0.7)

= 0.70 + 0.21 + 0.063 = 0.973

Hope this Helps!!!

You are having a meeting with the CEO of a soda company. You have interpreted the number of cans of soda produced versus profit

LenaWriter [7]

The shape of the graph is similar to the letter W; however, the region of interest will lie on the right of the origin, which means only the right half of the W(a negative number of cans cannot be produced). The profit produced will be maximized if the number of cans produced is greater than 3. The company will be at a loss if the number of cans produced is near 2.5. The break even situations are present if the company produces 2 or 3 cans.

Use forward and backward difference approximations of O(h) and a centered difference approximation of O(h2) to estimate the firs

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Answer has explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the function is:

F(x) = 25x3 – 6x2 +7x -88

Differentiate with respect to x, we get

F’(x) = 25. 3x2 – 6.2x + 7

= 75x2 – 12x +7

At x = 2, we have

F (2) = 25(2)3 – 6(2)2 + 7(2)-88

=102

And f’(2) = 75(2)2 – 12 (2) +7

=283

Now, calculate forward divided difference as:

xi + 1 = xi + h

=2 + 0.25

=2.25

F (xi + 1) = f (2.25) = 25 (2.25)3 – 6(2.25)2 +7(2.25) -88

=182.21

f’(2) = f(2.25) – f(2) / 0.25 = 182.21 – 102 / 0.25

= 320.84

Єt = 283 – 320.8 / 283 = -13.36%

Now calculate backward divided difference:

Xi-1 = xi –h = 2 – 0.25 = 1.75

F(xi-1)= f(1.8) = 25 . (1.8)3 -6 (1.8)2 + 7 (1.8) – 88

= 50.96

F’(2) = f(2) – f(1.8) / 0.25 = 102 – 50.96 / 0.25 = 204.16

Єt = 283 – 204.16 / 283 = 27.86%

Finally, centered divided difference is obtain by inserting f(xi+1) and f (xi-1):

F’(2) = f(2.25) – f(1.8) /2 x 0.25 = 320.84 -50.96 / 0.5 = 539.68

Єt = 283 – 539.68 / 283 = -90.7%
