Chris Paul is shooting free throws. Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one, and he makes his free throws 88% of the time.
What is the probability of Chris Paul making all of his next 9 free throws attempts.
A) 9.088
B) 0.88^9
C) (1-0.88)^9
D) 9×(1-0.88)

B; 0.88^9

Step-by-step explanation:

in this question, we are tasked with calculating the probability that Chris Paul makes all of his 9 free throws.

Firstly, we write the probability of scoring a free throw. From the question, this was given to be 88% and that is 88/100 = 0.88

now , to calculate the probability of making the next nine, what to do is to multiply the probability by itself in a total of 9 time

This is ;

0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 = 0.88^9

0.88^9 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
