Of scoring on the second one, and then you have a 0.3 chance This exact thing happening? This exact thing? Well, you have a 0.7 chance of making, of scoring on the first one, then you have a 0.7 chance
So, let's think about the way, let's think about the particular ways of getting two scores in six attempts and think about the probability for any one of those particular ways, and then we can think about how many ways can we get two scores in six attempts? So, for example, you could get you could make the first two free throws, so it could be score, score and We're asking right now, so this is what we want to figure out, the probability of exactly two scores in six attempts. So let's think about what that is and I encourage you to get inspired at any point in this video you should pause it and you should try to work through what What we are curiousĪbout, is the probability of exactly two scores in six attempts.
These are the only two possibilities, so they have to add up to 100%, or they have to add up to one.
You're either going to make or miss, you're going to score or miss, I don't want to use make in this because they both start with M so this is going to be a 30% probability, or if we write it as a decimal, 0.3 One minus this is 0.7. Missing a free throw, then and this is just going to come straight out of what we just wrote down, the probability of missing, of missing a free throw, If we want to write it as a percent or we could write it as 0.7 if we write it as a decimal. scoring a free throw, is equal to, is going to be, say 70%. They both start with M and that can get confusing, so let's say the probability of scoring. Say of scoring a free throw because make and miss, A video tutorial on using our calculator as well as a walk through of the calculations and formulas is shown here: Percentage Calculator Tutorial.- Let's say that you know your probability of making a free throw.
The formulas of each of the calculations used in our percentage calculator can be seen by clicking the question mark, ?, next to each calculation. Some examples of scientific notation are shown below: Example 1: Scientific Notation for Small NumbersĠ.000027 = 2.7x10 -5 Example 2: Scientific Notation for Large NumbersĢ70000 = 2.7x10 5 Formulas of calculations This method reduces the amount of digits and especially zeros needed to write in representing a number. Scientific Notation is simply a number format that includes a multiplication of 10 to the power of either a negative number, for small numbers, or to the power of a positive number, for larger numbers. If you are inputting numbers in the percentage calculator that result in an answer being very small or very large, the answer may appear in the format of scientific notation to fit inside the answer box. Another way we have made it to save you time is, if you are using a computer, you can simply move from one input to the next by pressing “Tab” on your keyboard and to move to the previous input press “Shift + Tab” together on your keyboard! This makes it super easy and fast to move to each input without needing to use your mouse or cursor. Our percentage calculator is perfect for anyone that wants to save time in calculating many different percentages as well as for anyone that is not good at math! To even save you more time we made sure that the calculations are automatically calculated as you type in the input boxes.
