A basketball player gets 2 free-throw shots when she is fouled by a player on the opposing team. She misses the first shot 40% of the time. When she misses the first shot, she misses the second shot 5% of the time. What is the probability of missing both free-throw shots?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The probability of missing the first shot is 40%. When she misses the first shot, the probability of missing the second shot is very, very low, only 5%. That means that the probability of missing both shots must be much smaller than the probability of missing the first shot.
 
40/100 * 5/100
0.4 * 0.05
= 0.02
= 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

in 2004, 510,000 acres of farmland in region were devoted to growing nuts. by 2011, the number of acres used to grow nuts had increased to 830,000. find the avarage rate of change in the number of acres in a region used to grow nuts from 2004 to 2011

Answers

Consider the (x, y) coordinates to be:  (2004, 510000) and (2011, 830000).

Average rate of change is another name for slope, So, use the slope formula: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (830,000 - 510,000)/(2011 - 2004)

m = (320,000)/(7)

Answer: 320,000 acres every 7 years

Answer: 45714 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In 2004, 510,000 acres of farmland in region were devoted to growing nuts. by 2011, the number of acres used to grow nuts had increased to 830,000.

Change in acres of farmland from 2004 to 2011 = 830000-510000=320,000

Change in year = 2011-2004=7

The average rate of change is given by :-

\frac{\text{Change in acres of farmland}}{\text{Change in year}}\n\n=(320000)/(7)=45714.2857143\approx45714 \text{[Rounded to the nearest integer.]}

Hence, the average rate of change in the number of acres in a region used to grow nuts from 2004 to 2011 is 45714 per year.

10 POINTS. 1/7 written as a decimal is 0.142857 (this sequence repeats). What digit occurs in the 2012th spot after the decimal? Please explain.

Answers

1/7 = 0.142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857 and so on

the pattern repeats

the first digit is 1
second digit is 4
third digit is 2
fourth digit is 8
fifth digit is 5
sixth digit is 7

and then the seventh digit is 1, and it repeats

so the six digits repeat again and again...

2012/6 = 335 2/6

It has a remainder of 2, which means that the 12th digit will be 4. because that is the second digit. After going 335 times the 6 digit patterns it will stop at the second digit which is 4.

Your answer is 4.
