What is the probability that a ​58% ​free-throw shooter will miss her next free​ throw?

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:8x1=8

Answer:

Let's assume the original price of the stock was x.

When the company announced it overestimated demand, the stock price fell by 40%.

So, the new price of the stock after the first decline was:

x - 0.4x = 0.6x

A few weeks later, when the seats were recalled, the stock price fell again by 60% from the new lower price of 0.6x.

So, the new price of the stock after the second decline was:

0.6x - 0.6(0.6x) = 0.24x

Given that the current stock price is $2.40, we can set up the equation:

0.24x = 2.40

Solving for x, we get:

x = 10

Therefore, the stock was originally selling for $10.

The statement that best describes the mode of selection depicted in the figure is (b) Directional Selection, changing the average color of population over time.

The Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when individuals with a certain trait or phenotype are more likely to survive and reproduce than individuals with other traits or phenotypes.

In the directional selection of evolution, the mean shifts that means average shifts to one extreme and supports one trait and leads to eventually removal of the other trait.

In this case, one end of the extreme-phenotypes which means that the dark-brown rats are being selected for. So, over the time, the average color of the rat population will change.

From the discriminant of the give quadratic equation, the temperature of the machine will part after 50 minutes of operation.

The given equation that models the temperature of the machine is;

T = -0.005x² + 0.45x + 125

Let check if there's a value that exists for T = 135

Putting T = 135 in the given equation,

135 = -0.005x² + 0.45x + 125

We can simplify this to;

0.005x² - 0.45x + 10 = 0

From the general form of quadratic equation which is ax² + bx + c = 0, where a = 0.005, b = -0.45, and c = 10.

The discriminant of this quadratic equation is given by:

D = b² - 4ac

= (-0.45)² - 4(0.005)(10)

= 0.2025 - 0.2

= 0.0025

The discriminant of the equation is positive which indicates we have two roots. Therefore, the temperature of the machine part will cross 135°F at some point during the operation.

We can also find the roots of the quadratic equation using the formula:

[tex]x = (-b \± \sqrt(D)) / 2a[/tex]

Substituting the values of a, b, and D, we get:

[tex]x = (0.45 \± \sqrt(0.0025)) / 2(0.005)\\= (0.45 \± 0.05) / 0.01[/tex]

Taking the positive value, we get:

x = 50

Answer:

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Substituting the values, we get:

m = (5 - (-10)) / (6 - 3) = 15/3 = 5

Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation to write the equation of the line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substituting the values of m, x1, and y1, we get:

y - (-10) = 5(x - 3)

Simplifying and rearranging the equation, we get:

y + 10 = 5x - 15

y = 5x - 25

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through (3,-10) and (6,5) in slope-intercept form is y = 5x - 25.

According to the Venn diagram the value of [tex]n(A ^ C \cap B ^ C) = {3}[/tex] so the number of elements in that set is 1.

What is Venn diagram ?

A Venn diagram is a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. It is usually represented as a rectangle or a circle for each set and the overlapping areas between them, showing the common elements that belong to more than one set. Venn diagrams are widely used in mathematics, logic, statistics, and computer science to visualize the relationships between different sets and help solve problems related to set theory.

According to the question:
To solve this problem, we first need to understand the notation used.

n(A) denotes the set A and the numbers within the braces {} indicate the elements in set A. For example, n(A)={7,4,3,9} means that the set A contains 7, 4, 3, and 9.

n(AnB) denotes the intersection of sets A and B, i.e., the elements that are common to both A and B. For example, n(AnB)={4,3} means that the sets A and B have 4 and 3 in common.

^ denotes intersection of sets

cap denotes the intersection of sets

Now, we need to find the elements that are common to sets A and C, and sets B and C. We can do this by taking the intersection of A and C, and the intersection of B and C, and then taking the intersection of the two resulting sets.

[tex]n(A ^ C) = n(A \cap C) = {3,9}[/tex]

[tex]n(B ^ C) = n(B\cap C) = {3,5}[/tex]

Now, we take the intersection of [tex]n(A ^ C)[/tex] and [tex]n(B ^ C)[/tex]:

[tex]n(A ^ C \cap B ^ C) = {3}[/tex]

$50,000 or less is equal to 0.2218.

Annual household income in Maryland follows a normal distribution ,

Median =  $75,847

Standard deviation = $33,800

Probability of household in Maryland has an annual income of $90,000 or more.

Let X be the random variable representing the annual household income in Maryland.

Then,

find P(X ≥ $90,000).

Standardize the variable X using the formula,

Z = (X - μ) / σ

where μ is the mean (or median, in this case)

And σ is the standard deviation.

Substituting the given values, we get,

Z = (90,000 - 75,847) / 33,800

⇒ Z = 0.4187

Using a standard normal distribution table

greater than 0.4187  as 0.3377.

P(X ≥ $90,000)

= P(Z ≥ 0.4187)

= 0.3377

Probability that a household in Maryland has an annual income of $90,000 or more is 0.3377(rounded to four decimal places).

Probability that a household in Maryland has an annual income of $50,000 or less.

P(X ≤ $50,000).

Standardizing X, we get,

Z = (50,000 - 75,847) / 33,800

⇒ Z = -0.7674

Using a standard normal distribution table

Probability that a standard normal variable is less than -0.7674 as 0.2218. This implies,

P(X ≤ $50,000)

= P(Z ≤ -0.7674)

= 0.2218

Probability that a household in Maryland has an annual income of $50,000 or less is 0.2218.

Answer:

We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle to solve this problem. Let's assume that the length of the top of the bookcase is L and the width is b. Then, we can write:

L × b = 300

Solving for b, we get:

b = 300 / L

Since we don't know the length L, we cannot find the exact value of b. However, we can use the given information to make an estimate. Let's say that the length of the bookcase is 60 inches. Then, we have:

b = 300 / 60 = 5

So, if the length of the bookcase is 60 inches, the width needs to be at least 5 inches to accommodate Bria's soap carving collection. However, if the length is different, the required width will also be different.

Therefore, the length of segment AB is approximately 7.4 units.

Area is a mathematical concept that describes the size of a two-dimensional surface. It is a measure of the amount of space inside a closed shape, such as a rectangle, circle, or triangle, and is typically expressed in square units, such as square feet or square meters. The area of a shape is calculated by multiplying the length of one side or dimension by the length of another side or dimension. For example, the area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width.

Here,

To find the radius of the circle, we can use the formula for the area of a sector:

Area of sector = (θ/360) x π x r²

where θ is the central angle of the sector in degrees, r is the radius of the circle, and π is approximately 3.14.

We're given that the area of sector COD is 50.24 square units and the central angle of the sector is 90°. So we can plug in these values and solve for r:

50.24 = (90/360) x 3.14 x r²

50.24 = 0.25 x 3.14 x r²

r² = 50.24 / (0.25 x 3.14)

r² = 201.28

r = √201.28

r ≈ 14.2

Therefore, the radius of the circle is approximately 14.2 units.

Next, we need to find the length of segment AB. Since AB is a chord of the circle, we can use the formula:

AB = 2 x r x sin(θ/2)

where θ is the central angle of the sector in degrees, r is the radius of the circle, and sin() is the sine function.

We're given that the central angle of sector COD is 30°. So we can plug in this value and the radius we found earlier to solve for AB:

AB = 2 x 14.2 x sin(30/2)

AB = 2 x 14.2 x sin(15)

So, we will convert both fractions to have a denominator of 126:

1/9 = 14/126

1/14 = 9/126

Now we can subtract them:

1/9 - 1/14 = 14/126 - 9/126

Simplifying the right-hand side by subtracting the numerators, we get:

5/126

Therefore, 1/9 - 1/14 = 5/126 as an improper fraction.

The value of the x is 5√3 after we successfully do the application of the 30°-60°-90° Triangle theorem.

The 30°-60°-90° Triangle Theorem states that in such a triangle, the side opposite the 30° angle is half the length of the hypotenuse, and the side opposite the 60° angle is the product of the length of the hypotenuse and the square root of 3 divided by 2.

Using this theorem, we can write:

y = hypotenuse

Opposite of 30° angle = 5 = hypotenuse/2

Opposite of 60° angle = x = hypotenuse × (√(3)/2)

Solving for the hypotenuse in terms of y from the first equation, we get:

The sample mean is 2.1, the sample variance is 212.5% and the standard deviation is 14.57%

a. The sample mean can be computed as the average of the quarterly percent total returns:

[tex](11.2 - 20.5 + 13.2 + 12.6 + 9.5 - 5.8 - 17.7 + 14.3) / 8 = 2.1[/tex]

So the sample mean is 2.1%, which can be interpreted as the average quarterly percent total return for the stock over the sample period.

b. The sample variance can be computed using the formula:

[tex]s^2 = sum((x - mean)^2) / (n - 1)[/tex]

where x is each quarterly percent total return, mean is the sample mean, and n is the sample size. Plugging in the values, we get:

[tex]s^2 = (11.2 - 2.1)^2 + (-20.5 - 2.1)^2 + (13.2 - 2.1)^2 + (12.6 - 2.1)^2 + (9.5 - 2.1)^2 + (-5.8 - 2.1)^2 + (-17.7 - 2.1)^2 + (14.3 - 2.1)^2 / (8 - 1) = 212.15[/tex]

So the sample variance is 212.15%. The sample standard deviation can be computed as the square root of the sample variance:

[tex]s = \sqrt(s^2) = \sqrt(212.15) = 14.57[/tex]

So the sample standard deviation is 14.57%.

c. To construct a 95% confidence interval for the population variance, we can use the chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom n - 1 = 7. The upper and lower bounds of the confidence interval can be found using the chi-square distribution table or calculator, as follows:

upper bound = (n - 1) * s^2 / chi-square(0.025, n - 1) = 306.05

lower bound = (n - 1) * s^2 / chi-square(0.975, n - 1) = 91.91

So the 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (91.91, 306.05).

d. To construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation (as percent), we can use the formula:

lower bound = s * √((n - 1) / chi-square(0.975, n - 1))

upper bound = s * √((n - 1) / chi-square(0.025, n - 1))

Plugging in the values, we get:

lower bound = 6.4685%

upper bound = 20.1422%

So the 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation (as percent) is (6.4685%, 20.1422%).

The equation that represents the value of the collection after 5 years is:

Value of collection after 5 years = 190 x (1 + 0.06)^5

Explanation:

To calculate the value of the collection after 5 years, we need to use the compound interest formula. This formula is represented as A = P x (1 + r)^n, where P is the principal amount (initial value of the collection), r is the rate of interest (in this case, 6%), and n is the number of years (in this case, 5).

Therefore, the equation for the value of the collection after 5 years is:

Value of collection after 5 years = 190 x (1 + 0.06)^5

This can also be written as:

Value of collection after 5 years = 190 x 1.31 (1.31 is the result of (1 + 0.06)^5)

Therefore, the value of the collection after 5 years is $246.90.

Sure, let's solve this step-by-step:

First, we need to solve for x in the equation x + 1/2 = 5.

We can do this by subtracting 1/2 from both sides, giving us x = 4 1/2.

Now, we can substitute x = 4 1/2 into the equation 2*x^2 - 3x + 6 - 3/x +2/x^2.

We can simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by x^2, giving us:

2*x^2 - 3x + 6 - 3/x +2 = 10*x^2 - 3x + 6.

Now, we can combine all of the terms with x:

10*x^2 - 6x + 6 = 0.

Finally, we can solve the equation using the quadratic formula:

x = 3/5 or x = 2.

Therefore, the answer to the equation is 10*(3/5)^2 - 6(3/5) + 6 = 4.8, or 10*2^2 - 6(2) + 6 = 16.

C + 18 - 18 = 29 - 18

Simplifying the left side of the equation:

C = 29 - 18

C = 11

Therefore, the solution to the equation C + 18 = 29 is C = 11.

[2 2] [x] [1]

[2 -3] [y] = [0]

The coefficient matrix is:

[2 2]

[2 -3]

To find the inverse of the coefficient matrix, we can use the following formula:

A^-1 = (1/|A|) adj(A)

where |A| is the determinant of A and adj(A) is the adjugate of A.

The determinant of the coefficient matrix is:

|A| = (2)(-3) - (2)(2) = -10

A^-1 = (1/-10) [-3 2]

[-2 2]

Multiplying both sides of the matrix equation by A^-1, we get:

[x] 1 [-3 2] [1]

[y] = -10 [-2 2] [0]

(2) When both r and s are even integers, the polynomial obtained by multiplying out (x - r)(x - s) will also have a coefficient of 1 for x^2 term, but the coefficient of x term and constant term will be even integers.

(3) When one of r and s is even and the other is odd, the polynomial obtained by multiplying out (x - r)(x - s) will have a coefficient of 1 for x^2 term, the coefficient of x term will be an odd integer, while the constant term will be an even integer.

b. x^2 - 1253x + 255 cannot be written as a product of two polynomials with integer coefficients.

a. When both r and s are odd integers, the product (x − r)(x − s) will have a coefficient of 1 for x^2 term, and both the coefficient of x term and constant term will be odd integers. This is because the sum of two odd integers and the product of two odd integers is also an odd integer.

When both r and s are even integers, the product (x − r)(x − s) will also have a coefficient of 1 for x^2 term, but the coefficient of x term and constant term will be even integers. This is because the sum of two even integers and the product of two even integers is also an even integer.

When one of r and s is even and the other is odd, the product (x − r)(x − s) will have a coefficient of 1 for x^2 term, and the coefficient of x term will be an odd integer, while the constant term will be an even integer. This is because the sum of an odd and even integer is an odd integer, and the product of an odd and even integer is an even integer.

b. If x^2 - 1253x + 255 can be written as a product of two polynomials with integer coefficients, then we can write it as (x - r)(x - s) where r and s are integers. From part (a), we know that both r and s cannot be odd integers since the coefficient of x term would be odd, but 1253 is an odd integer. Similarly, both r and s cannot be even integers since the constant term would be even, but 255 is an odd integer. Therefore, one of r and s must be odd and the other must be even. However, the difference between an odd integer and an even integer is always odd, so the coefficient of x term in the product (x - r)(x - s) would be odd, which is not equal to the coefficient of x term in x^2 - 1253x + 255. Hence, x^2 - 1253x + 255 cannot be written as a product of two polynomials with integer coefficients.
