In basketball, Shaquille makes 40% of his free throw attempts. He goes to the free throw line to shoot one-and-one (if he makes the first shot, he gets to shoot one more). He scores 1 point per free throw. What is the expected value of the number of points he will score?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: This question is a little bit tricky. Anyway, the best answer to the question would be 2 points. The expected value of the number of points he will score would be two points in every successful free throw attempt he makes. It just has a probability of .40 - which means that ,say,  in 10 free throw shots, there's a tendency he will only make 4 of them.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

4 he makes 4 shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

if there are 40% and his shots equal 1 the answer is 4.

Clare made $160 babysitting last summer. She put the money in a savings account that pays 3% interest per year. If Clare doesn't touch the money in her account, she can find the amount she'll have the next year by multiplying her current amount by 1.03. How much will she have in 30 years

Answers

Answer:

$388.36

Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume that the amount in her accounts compounds annually

Given data

principal p= $160

interest rate r= 3%= 0.03

time t= 30 years

At the end of 30 years the money she will will have can be expressed as

A= P(1+r)^t

A= 160(1+0.03)^30

A= 160(1.03)^30

A= 160*2.42726

A= $388.36

in 30 years she will have $388.36

Given the trinomial, what is the value of the coefficient 'B' in the factored form?2x2 − 12xy − 32y2 = 2(x − 8y)(x + By)

B= ____________

Numerical Answers Expected!

Answers

B is related to the last term of trinomial

Last term on the left hand side of the equation = Last term on the right hand side of the equation.

The last term on the right hand side is gotten by multiplying all the terms on the right of the two expression.

-32y²=  2*-8y*By

-32y² = -16By²        Compare both

32 = 16B

16B = 32

B = 32/16

B = 2.

How much orange juice at 42¢ a liter should be mixed with grapefruit juice worth 32¢ a liter to make 200 liters of a mixture worth 36¢ a liter?If x represents the amount of orange juice used, then which of the following expressions represents the total cost of the grapefruit juice used?

0.32x
0.32(200 - x)
0.32(x + 200)

Answers

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of grapefruit per liter = 32

Cost of orange juice per liter= 42

Total quantity of mixture = 200 liters

Let the quantity of orange juice be x

So, the quantity of grapefruit juice be 200-x

So, the total cost of the grapefruit juice used will be

0.32(200-x)

According to question,

0.32(200-x)+0.42x=200* 0.36\n\n64-0.32x+0.42x=72\n\n0.42x-0.32x=72-64\n\n0.1x=8\n\nx=80\n\n\text{ So, the amount of grapefruit juice will be }=200-80=120

Hence, Second option is correct.


X = the amount of orange juice that still has to be mixed


If it says that the total of the juice will be 200 liters, then (200-x) = the amount of grapefruit juice that still needs to be mixed.


The grapefruit juice amount would be: 200 - 80 = 120 liters

Answers

Begin fraction seven over eight end fraction i,e 7/8 (0.875) is the numbers is between 1 and 3/4. Option C is correct.

What is a fraction?

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

It is given that the two numbers are 1 and 3/4.

The number should lie between 0.75 and 1. From all the given options we analyze the values one by one we get the Begin fraction seven over eight end fraction i,e 7/8 (0.875) is the correct.

The given condition is represented as,

3/4 < 7/8 <1

0.75 < 7/8 < 1

Thus, begin fraction seven over eight ends fraction i,e 7/8 (0.875) is the numbers is between 1 and 3/4. Option C is correct.
