A basketball player is a center in the National Basketball Association and averaged 2.3 blocked shots per game during a recent season. Assume that the number of blocked shots per game follows the Poisson distribution. What is the probability that this basketball player will block exactly two shots during the next game? Report to THREE decimal places and report as 0.234

0.265

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

is the mean in the given interval.

A basketball player is a center in the National Basketball Association and averaged 2.3 blocked shots per game during a recent season.

This means that

What is the probability that this basketball player will block exactly two shots during the next game?

This is

So the answer is 0.265.

70.30

step-by-step explanation:

answer: $53750

steps:

list the principal and interest after the n-th year:

n       principal   simple interest

1     12500     375

2     25000     750

3     37500     1125

4     50000     1500

sum: $50000     $3750

total at end of year 4: $53750
