A basketball player has made 6060% of his foul shots during the season. Assume the shots are independent.
a) What's the expected number of shots until he misses?
b) If the player shoots 99 foul shots in the fourth quarter, how many shots do you expect him to make?
c) What is the standard deviation of the 99 shots

a) 2.5 shots

b) 59.4 shots

c) 4.87 shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of making the shot = 0.6

Probability of missing the shot = 0.4

a) The expected number of shots until the player misses is given by:

The expected number of shots until the first miss is 2.5

b) The expected number of shots made in 99 attempts is:

He is expected to make 59.4 shots

c) Let "p" be the proportion shots that the player make, the standard deviation for n = 99 shots is:

The standard deviation is 4.87 shots.

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
