Suppose a basketball player has made 216 out of 339 free throws.
If the player makes the next 2 free throws, you will be paid 12 ,
otherwise, you will pay 26. Find th expected value of the
"game"?
Suppose a basketball player has made 213 out of 427 free throws.
If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $115.
Otherwise you pay me $37. Step 2 of 2 : If you played this game 659
times how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer
to two decimal places. Losses must be entered as negative.
Suppose a basketball player has made 287 out of 334 free throws.
If the player makes the next 3 free throws, I will pay you $12.
Otherwise you pay me $20. Step 2 of 2 : If you played this game 872
times how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer
to two decimal places. Losses must be entered as negative.
Suppose a basketball player has made 305 out of 372 free throws.
If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $5.
Otherwise you pay me $10. Step 2 of 2 : If you played this game 626
times how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer
to two decimal places. Losses must be entered as negative.
Suppose a basketball player has made 358 out of 417 free throws.
If the player makes the next 33 free throws, I will pay you $5,
Otherwise you pay me $8.
Suppose a basketball player has made 217 out of 357 free throws. If
the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $32.
Otherwise you pay me $21. If you played this game 745 times how
much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answe to two
decimal places. Loses must be entered as negative
A basketball player is practicing his free throws. This player's
probability of making a free throw over his career is 0.592. He
will shoot 140 free throws.
a) Define a random variable, and write out the probability mass
function for the number of free throws this player makes on his 140
attempts.
b) What is the probability that this player makes between 60 and
62 free throws, inclusive?
c) What is the expected value and variance of the number of...
Curry's mouthThe basketball player Steph Curry sometimes shoots free throws
with his mouthguard in his mouth, and sometimes shoots free throws
with his mouthguard outside of his mouth. His free throw statistics
for one season were:Free throws with mouthguard in: 110 completed, 13 missed
(89.4%)Free throws with mouthguard out: 198 completed, 16 missed
(92.5%)His observed free throw completion rate was slightly higher when
his mouthguard was outside his mouth. However, we should check
whether the difference could be plausibly explained...
