Heck! Glad you are safe.

A basketball player is on the line to shoot a one-and-one free throw, wherein a second shot is allowed only if the first shot is successful.

If the player's free-throw-shooting average is 0.750

What is the probability that she will score exactly one basket Question

Please express the answer as a common fraction.

When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60 meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters.

Suppose Robert and Sam continue to race to the finish line without changing their rates of speed.

By how many meters will Robert beat Sam Question

Basket
[size=7]im terrible with probabilities....but lets see
she has to make the first one and miss the second
so P(making 1st)*P(missing 2nd)=(3/4)(1-3/4)=3/16....right?[/size]

thoh I am really glad you are okay and wasn't one of the shooting victims.

Try,
I don't know the basketball one and the race one I can only guess at because I don't know a formula to use. My best guess is more than 10 and less than 15.

Thanks Stormwatch about the vacation remark Very Happy

...........and the second one did take me awhile.

I have been asked by the person you know as Try Again to send apologies for his absence, which is due to stronger resistance than expected to his plans.

As soon as I can find the guy who has changed the passwords, I will confirm any answers. I have a sack load of puzzles from the Silk Road to test the most agile mind; oh, and some for Lzzie too! :wink:

Special thank you to Lzzie and TTH for noting my absence with kind words. Cool

What else; Monty Python and the Holy Grail Laughing

Jo, I can't remember writing, "Ps. Sorry you lost the World Cup Adrian."

But it is a nice name.

I am well; thank you. But how are you?

Can you find a function f(x) such that f(f(x)) = x but f(x) does not equal x Question

Separate 1000 into two parts so that one part is a multiple of 19 and the other is a multiple of 47 Question

Cute Try guy, I could find a function, but it would not have anything to do with f and x or maybe f, oh nevermind Laughing

Part 1) 2x9x19=18x19=342 and......
Part 2) 2x7x47=14x47=658
342+658=1000
That should work and don't ask about the 2x9 & 2x7 instead of starting with 18 and 14 because I don't know. It is just the way my brain works Confused

f(f(x)) = x, but f(x) != x

[size=7]f(x) = -x works for all x except 0.[/size] Sad

0 Replies

[size=7]for all x <>0 f(x)=1/x so f(f(x))=F(1/x)=x

1000=14*47+18*19[/size]
