B) If y is the additive identity is 0
We have been given that The boston celtics have won 16 nba championships over approximately 50 years. Therefore, it can be concluded that in any given year the probability of celtics winning the title will be p = 16/50 = 0.32
For Celtics to win eight straight championships in 1959, we will be required to multiply the probability of winning championship in one year to itself 8 times.
Therefore, the required probability is:
Therefore, the required probability is almost 0.00011.
3, 6, 12
I guessed and checked. So if 3 is the smallest number, I would, multiply it by 3, which is 9. 9 is 3 less than the largest number which would be 12. 12 + 3 is 15. To find the third number, subtract 21 and 15 which is 6
m = −3/4 is the correct answer. Hope this helps!
