Probability theory predicts that there is a 16.2% chance of a particular basketball player making 5 free throws in a row. if the basketball player taking 5 free throws is simulated 5000 times, in about how many of the simulations would you expect at least 1 missed free throw?

4190

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Probability theory predicts that there is a 16.2% chance of a particular basketball player making 5 free throws in a row.

Let us assume that, A be the event that, 5 free throws happen. So

So the probability of the event of not happening the event A or event of missing  at least 1 free throw will be,

So, in 5000 trial, number of missed free throw will be,

there are no short passages to look at

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
