In the biathton event of the Olympic Games, a participant skis
crosscountry and on four intermittent occasions stops at a rifle
range and shoots a set of five shots. If the center of the target
is hit, no penalty points are assessed. A particular individual has
a history of hitting the center of the target 91% of the time. If
12 shots are taken, answer the following questions. Round your
answers to 3 decimal places.
a. Find the probability that they will hit the target exactly
9 times. (for this part only you must demonstrate that you have
used the binomial formula to receive credit for this
problem).
b. Find the probability that they hit the target more than 10
times.
c. Find the probability that they wilt hit the target less
than 8 times.
d. What is the mean of this distribution?
e. What is the standard deviation of this distribution.

We calculate the probabilities and mean, standard deviation of
the distribution.
Golf has returned to the Olympic Games. In its first games back
in the 2016 Rio games, many of the biggest name PGA Tour players
did not compete or participate in the Olympics. What are some
options that golf officials could pursue in order to make the
Olympic Games more attractive to draw the biggest names in
golf?
When considering this the scenario and question, develop a plan
to encourage golfers to pursue a medal at the Olympic Games. Answer...
Suppose that a city’s demand for hosting an Olympic Games is
described by the demand curve PD = 900 – 20Q, where Q is
the number of Olympic events and PD is measured in
millions of dollars. (For example, to host 10 Olympic events, the
city would be willing to pay $700 million.) The International
Olympic Committee’s (IOC’s) marginal revenue from putting on Q
events is MR = 900 – 40Q. The IOC’s marginal cost of putting on Q
events...

Describe for me the evolution of the IOC presidency of the Olympic
Games and why this is significant to the Olympic Games. Be sure to
include important examples of IOC presidents who were extra
important (and how and why they were) to the Olympic
Movement.
In the Olympic shotput event, an athlete throws the shot with an
initial speed of 13.0 m/s at a 44.0 ∘angle from the horizontal. The
shot leaves her hand at a height of 1.80 m above the ground.
How far does the shot travel?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
The sport of Archery was featured at the 2016 Olympic games in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event is segregated by gender, with
women competing for one set of medals and men competing for a
separate set of medals. Medals are determined by a head-to-head
tournament, but before the tournament begins all of the archers
compete in a "ranking round" where they are simply trying to earn
the highest score possible. Both the male and female competitors
shoot 72 arrows...
During the 2004 Olympic Games, a
shot putter threw a shot put with a speed of 12.1 m/s at an angle
of 43.7° above the horizontal. She released the shot put from a
height of 2.07 m above the ground.
a) How far did the shot put travel in the horizontal
direction?
b) How long was it until the shot put hit the ground?
Was the rio olympics a failure or success? What makes an Olympic
event successful and what practices are used? What would you
differently about Rio and what kind of project management issues
practices are used for these types of events .
Please no handwriting. Thank you
In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot with
an initial speed of 13.6 m/sm/s at a 40.0 ∘∘ angle from the
horizontal. The shot leaves her hand at a height of 1.80 mm above
the ground. (Figure 1)
1. How far does the shot travel horizontally before striking the
ground when shot with initial angle 40.0 ∘∘ ?
2. Repeat the calculation of the first part for angle 42.5 ∘
3. Repeat the calculation of the first...
