A basketball player is shooting free throws blindfolded. He shoots in groups of 4 shots. Assume that it is equally likely that he will hit or miss a shot. Design and do a simulation to determine the probability that he will hit at least 75% of his shots within the groups. (Hint: Use coins.)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let H represent hit and M represent miss, Then sample space

MMMM, MMMH, MMHM, MHMM, HMMM, MMHH, MHMH, HMMH, MHHM, HMHM, HHMM, MHHH, HMHH, HHMH, HHHM, HHHH

He hit at least 75% in 5 occasions.

Therefore, P(hit at least 75%) = 5/16
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

Use 4 coins. Let heads = hit and tails = miss. Toss each coin and record the results in a table. Coin 1Coin 2Coin3Coin 4Set 1HHHHSet 2HTHHSet 3HHTHSet 4THTTSet 5

Repeat the coin tosses until you have recorded 50 sets of 4 tosses each. b. Count the successful outcomes—those with three or four heads. Coin 1Coin 2Coin3Coin 4SuccessSet 1HHHHxSet 2HTHHxSet 3HHTHxSet 4THTTSet 5

Which statements are true for the functions g(x) = x2 and h(x) = –x2 ? Check all that apply.For any value of x, g(x) will always be greater than h(x).
For any value of x, h(x) will always be greater than g(x).
g(x) > h(x) for x = -1.
g(x) < h(x) for x = 3.
For positive values of x, g(x) > h(x).
For negative values of x, g(x) > h(x).

Answers

if x=0 then they have same value

1st and 2nd options are out

for x=-1
g(-1)=1
h(-1)=-1
3rd is true

4th
false

for all values except zero, g(x)>h(x)


correct ones are

g(x) > h(x) for x = -1.
For positive values of x, g(x) > h(x).
For negative values of x, g(x) > h(x).

Answer: g(x) > h(x) for x = -1.

For positive values of x, g(x) > h(x).  

For negative values of x, g(x) > h(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions:g(x)=x^2 and h(x)=-x^2

When x=0, g(0)=0^2=0 and h(0)=-0^2=0

∴ at x=0, g(x)=h(0)

Therefore the statements "For any value of x, g(x) will always be greater than h(x)." and "For any value of x, h(x) will always be greater than g(x)." are not true.

When x=-1, g(-1)=(-1)^2=1 and h(-1)=-(-1)^2=-1

∴g(x) > h(x) for x = -1.  ......................(1)

When x=3, g(3)=(3)^2=9 and h(3)=-(3)^2=--9

g(x) > h(x) for x = 3....................(2)

⇒g(x) < h(x) for x = 3. is not true.

From (1) and (2),

For positive values of x, g(x) > h(x).  

For negative values of x, g(x) > h(x).

Scott puts some sports in rowhe makes 6 rows with 5 stickers in each row.If he puts the same number of stikers in 5 equal row how many stickers would be in each row? How do you know

Answers

We know that Scott has put 6 rows with 5 stickers each.

The total number of stickers available with Scott = 5*6 = 30 stickers

These 30 stickers are now placed in 5 rows with equal number of stickers in each row.

Number of stickers in each row= Total number of stickers available/number of rows

Number of stickers in each row = 30/5 = 6 stickers

Number of stickers in each row now would be = 6 stickers

Set up a proportion to solve for x in the following similar triangles.

Answers

Final answer:

The correct option is d.

To solve for x in similar triangles ABC and PQR, set up the proportion AB/PQ = DC/QR and solve for x.

Explanation:

To set up the proportion to solve for x in similar triangles ABC and PQR, we need to compare the corresponding sides. AB corresponds to PQ, so we can set up the proportion as follows:

AB/PQ = DC/QR

Substituting the given values, the proportion becomes:

18/12 = 24/(x-2)

Simplifying further, we can solve for x by cross multiplying and solving the resulting equation.
