Question 190974: CAN you HELP ASAP
thank you sooooooooo very much
Now suppose that Jacob is a basketball player who averages scoring 1.65 points whenever he has a one-and-one free throw situation. Let's use that information to calculate what his free-throw shooting percentage is. Let's use the symbols p and E to represent what we're talking about:
p = success probability whenever Jacob shoots a free throw
E = expected value for number of points scored in a one-and-one situation
In Takeisha's case, we knew that p = 0.74, and we used that information to solve for E. In Jacob's case we know that E = 1.65, and we want to solve for p. To do this, use exactly the same procedure that you did with Takeisha, except instead of working with the number 0.74, simply use the symbol p. This should lead you to an equation involving p and E. Since you know the value of E in Jacob's case, plug in that value and solve for p. (It's a quadratic equation, so you'll need to use the quadratic formula.)

"In Takeisha's case, we knew that p = 0.74, and we used that information to solve for E."

You would have to post the process used in this Takeisha case.
