A basketball-player scores a free-throw with probability 0.9. What is the probability that her first miss occurs on the 6th shot

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Pr = 0.059049[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 0.9[/tex] --- probability of scoring

Required

Probability that his first miss is his 6th shot

Let q represent the event that he did not score.

Using complement rule:

[tex]q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1[/tex]

The event that his first miss is his 6th is represented as:

p p p p p q ---- That he scoress the first 5 attempts

So, the probability is:

[tex]Pr = p^5 * q[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.9^5 * 0.1[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.059049[/tex]

A is the point (0, 8) and R is the point (5, 6). Find the point Con the y-axis such that angle ABC is 90°​

Answers

Answer:

(0, -13/2) or (0, -6.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

a point on the y-axis means x=0.

so, the solution is a point (0, y).

and I assume (5, 6) is not R but is B.

for the angle at B being 90 degrees, we are looking at a right-angled triangle, and basic Pythagoras has to be true :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the line opposite of the angle with the 90 degrees).

in our case, this c is the connection from A to C.

and a and b are the connections AB and BC.

so,

AC² = AB² + BC²

the distance between two points is again calculated via Pythagoras, where the differences in x and y directions are the sides, and the distance itself is the Hypotenuse.

so, we get

(0-0)² + (8-y)² = (0-5)² + (8-6)² + (5-0)² + (6-y)²

(8-y)² = -5² + 2² + 5² + (6-y)²

64 - 16y + y² = 25 + 4 + 25 + 36 - 12y + y²

64 - 16y + y² = 90 - 12y + y²

64 - 16y = 90 - 12y

-26 = 4y

y = -26/4 = -13/2 = -6.5

The simple interest on a sum of money in 2 years is Rs 36 less than the compound interest compounded annually. If the rate of interest is 12 % p.a., find the sum.​

Answers

Answer:   Rs 2500

======================================================

Explanation:

Compute the simple interest on a deposit of x

The per annum (p.a.) interest rate is r = 0.12 from the 12% value mentioned.

We do so over t = 2 years

i = p*r*t

i = x*0.12*2

i = 0.24x

Let A = 0.24x

Do the same for the compound interest. We'll have n = 1 to reflect annual compounding.

i = p*(1+r/n)^(n*t) - p

i = x*(1+0.12/1)^(1*2) - x

i = 1.2544x - x

i = 0.2544x

Let B = 0.2544x

We're told that "The simple interest on a sum of money in 2 years is Rs 36 less than the compound interest compounded annually"

This means the interest earned in the simple interest (value A) is Rs 36 less than the amount earned with quantity B

So,

A = B-36

0.24x = 0.2544x - 36

0.24x - 0.2544x = -36

-0.0144x = -36

x = -36/(-0.0144)

x = 2500

The amount invested or deposited is Rs 2500

Find the slope intercept form and the point slope the line perpendicular to 4x-7y=2 going through (-6,1)

Answers

Answer:

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=-\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{19}{2}[/tex]

Point-slope-form: [tex]y-1=-\frac{7}{4}(x+6)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line 4x-7y=2 that goes through (-6, 1) in slope-intercept form, as well as the point-slope form

Slope-intercept form is defined as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Point-slope form is defined as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] is a point

Meanwhile, perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. When they are multiplied together, the result is -1

So let's find the slope of the line 4x-7y=2

The equation of the line is in standard form, which is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are integer coefficients a is non-negative, and a and b aren't 0

So let's find the slope of the line 4x-7y=2

One way to do that is to convert the equation of the line from standard form to slope-intercept form

Our goal is to isolate y onto one side

Subtract 4x from both sides

-7y=-4x+2

Divide both sides by -7

y=[tex]\frac{4}{7}x-\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

So the slope of the line 4x-7y=2 is [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Now, we need to find the slope of the line perpendicular to it

Use this formula: [tex]m_1*m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]m_1[/tex] in this case is [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{7}m_2=-1[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

m=[tex]-\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Let's see the equation of the perpendicular line so far in slope-intercept form:

y=[tex]\frac{-7}{4}x[/tex]+b

We need to find b now

The equation of the line passes through (-6,1), so we can use it to solve for b.

Substitute -6 as x and 1 as y

[tex]1=-\frac{7}{4}*-6+b[/tex]

Now multiply

1=[tex]\frac{42}{4}+b[/tex]

Subtract 42/4 from both sides to isolate b

-19/2=b

Substitute -19/2 as b into the equation

The equation in slope-intercept form y=[tex]\frac{-7}{4}x-\frac{19}{2}[/tex]

Now, here's the equation in point-slope form

Recall that the slope is [tex]\frac{-7}{4}[/tex] , our point is (-6, 1), and point-slope form is [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Let's label the value of everything to avoid any confusion

[tex]m=-\frac{7}{4} \\x_1=-6\\y_1=1[/tex]

Now substitute those values into the equation

[tex]y-1=-\frac{7}{4}(x--6)[/tex]

We can simplify the x--6 to x+6

[tex]y-1=-\frac{7}{4}(x+6)[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Explain how data is transmitted over the internet. Make reference to the terms TCP/IP and why this system is needed.

Use this scaffold to help you write your response:

1. Identify and define the different components that is required to transmit data on the internet (e.g. TCP/IP/Computer)

2. Describe what each of these do

3. Explain how they work together to transmit data

4. Explain why each one is important in the system

5. Can you support your explanation with an example?

Answers

Answer:

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and is a set of protocols used to interconnect/connect network devices on the internet. think of it as a set of rules that kind of tell how the network works/ or should work, and what boundaries there are.

TCP/IP specifies how data is exchanged, via the internet. It basically provides communications that identify how/what packets the data should be distributed in, as well as, addressed, transmitted, and received at the destination.

TCP/IP requires a central management so it is capable of making networks reliable, and the added ability of recovering info/data automatically from any failure on any device on the network chain.

TCP also defines how applications can create access and channels of communication across a certain or any network. Like I mentioned before, it  manages how a message (a message can be any type of data that is being sent from one user to another, or and pieces of data that are being transmitted to and through various areas) is assembled into smaller packets before they travel across the internet and reassemble in the right order once reached at the destination address.

IP defines how to address and route each packet to make sure it reaches, said, destination. Each gateway computer on the network checks the IP address to determine where to forward the message.

bonus :

ASCII:

it is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange and is pronounced as (ask-ee).

This is a special code all machines use to receive and deliver data.

This standardized code will allow computers to translate data in the form of special characters.

Because ASCII is a standardized code for all computers, it's easier for them to share information this way without losing data in the translation.

*think about an iPhone sending a message to an Android. two different softwares, so how can messages be sent in the correct order and without any data being lost?

Step-by-step explanation:

there is something wrong with your problem description.

you really mean x² - 6x² + 16 ?

or is it 2x - 6x² + 16 ?

in any case this would be a squared equation, which does not have 2 turning points.

we would need an equation with x³.

for that we would create the 1st deviation, which would be then a squared equation with 2 solutions, which would be the 2 turning points of the initial equation.

Side opposite to 45° angle: x

Side opposite to 45° angle: x

Side opposite to 90° angle: x√2

Ratios of sides of 45-45-90 triangle is x : x : x√2

Side opposite to ∠D which is 45° is : 10

AT = x = 10

How do I find out the square root of a perfect square

Answers

The square root of a number (let’s say 25) refers to that number which when multiplied by itself will give the result as the given number (i.e. 25). In our case, the number is 5. We see that 5, when multiplied by itself (i.e. 5), will result in 25. Therefore, 25 is known as the square of 5, and 5 is known as the square root of 25.

Note:

(1) Multiplying two negative numbers will also result in a positive number. Therefore, (-5)*(-5) is also equal to 25. So, -5 is also a square root of 25. But, in general, we assume the square roots of a positive number to be a positive number.

(2) The square root of 1 is always 1.

We represent the square root of a number by a radical sign (√). Example: √36 = 6 (because 6 x 6 = 36)

Note:

(3) Finding the square root of a negative number (i.e. when the negative sign is inside the radical sign i.e. √-36) is a bit complex and is out of context for this article.

(4) if the minus sign is given outside the radical sign (i.e. -√36), then the answer will always be -6.



There are two types of numbers:

Numbers which are a perfect square: Product of an integer with itself. For example, 9*9 = 81.

Numbers which are an imperfect square: Multiplying any number with itself. For example, 2.236*2.236 = 5.

Finding the square root of an imperfect square is a little more difficult than finding the square root of a perfect square number. We will be covering both the topics in this particular article. But before that, we have to understand what square roots are used for.

For example, Rhea is looking for an apartment in Delhi. She is looking for a 2 bedroom apartment where she can live with her sister. A few phone calls later, she has shortlisted two places after seeing their pictures online. One is 1600 square feet with a balcony and the other is 2500 square feet with two balconies. Now, she can easily gauge the size of the first apartment as 40 feet by 40 feet. The second apartment would be 50 feet by 50 feet. This was just an example. Square roots are used for multiple purposes like these.



Now coming to our main topic, i.e., how to find the square root of a number?

(A) Perfect Square Numbers:-

Before finding the square roots of a number, we have to know the squares of the first 9 natural numbers.

1*1 = 1

2*2 = 4

3*3 = 9

4*4 = 16

5*5 = 25

6*6 = 36

7*7 = 49

8*8 = 64

9*9 = 81

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mean you add all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers. There are 4 numbers in this set so we will divide by 4.

Let x be the unknown number,

(10+4+7+x)/4=8(mean)

To solve for x, we first mutliply both sides by 4.

To simplify the left side we can add 10+4+7 and get 21 where now our equation is 21+x=32. Subtract 21 on both sides and you will get 11 which is our answer.

Plug-in 11 and solve for the mean to verify where we do indeed get 8 as the mean.
