A basketball player makes 70% of his free throws the random numbers below represent 20 trials for a simulation let the numbers 0 to 6 represent a made free throw and let 7 to 9 represent a missed free throw use this simulation to estimate the probability that the player makes both free throws. (5,5) (0,6) (9,6) (7,4) (9,1) (7,3) (0,4) (9,3) (2,9) (1,4) (6,8) (5,3) (1,7) (1,7) (1,8) (3,5) (7,2) (2,1) (0,6) (1,8)

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of the simulation below:

(5,5) (0,6) (9,6) (7,4) (9,1) (7,3) (0,4) (9,3) (2,9) (1,4)

(6,8) (5,3) (1,7) (1,7) (1,8) (3,5) (7,2) (2,1) (0,6) (1,8)

n(S)=20

Let Event A be the event that the player made both throws

The pairs in which the player made both throws are:

(5,5) (0,6) (0,4) (1,4) (5,3)  (3,5)  (2,1) (0,6)

n(A)=8

Therefore:

The probability that the player made both throws is 40%.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

the monthly balance will be $75,000
