Archery. An archer shoots an arrow into a square target 6 feet on a side whose center we call the origin. The outcome of this random experiment is the point in the target hit by the arrow. The archer scores 10 points if she hits the bull’s eye—a disk of radius 1 foot centered at the origin; she scores 5 points if she hits the ring with inner radius 1 foot and outer radius 2 feet centered at the origin; and she scores 0 points otherwise. Assume that the archer will actually hit the target and is equally likely to hit any portion of the target. For one arrow shot, let S be the score. a. Obtain and interpret the probability distribution of the random variable S. (Hint: The area of a square is the square of its side length; the area of a disk is the square of its radius times ?.) b. Use the special addition rule and the probability distribution obtained in part (a) to determine and interpret the probability of each of the following events: { S = 5}; { S0}; { S ? 7}; {5< S ? 15}; { S 15}; and { S< 0}.

A shooter takes 10 shots at a target and has probability 0.3 of hitting the target with each shot, independently of all other shots. Let X be the number of successful hits. a) What is the distribution of X? b) What is the probability of scoring no hits? c) What is the probability of scoring more hits than misses? d) Find the expectation and the variance of X. e) Suppose the shooter has to pay 3 dollars to enter the shooting range and he gets 2 dollars for each hit. Let Y be his profit. Find the expectation and the variance of Y . f) Now let’s assume that the shooter enters the shooting range for free and gets the number of dollars that is equal to the square of the number of hits. Let Z be his profit. Find the expectation of Z.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) records a variety of statistics for each team. Two of these statistics are the percentage of field goals made by the team and the percentage of three-point shots made by the team. For a portion of the 2004 season, the shooting records of the 29 teams in the NBA showed that the probability of scoring two points by making a field goal was. $44,$ and the probability of scoring three points by making a three-point shot was 34 (NBA website, January $3,2004$ ). a. What is the expected value of a two-point shot for these teams? b. What is the expected value of a three-point shot for these teams? c. If the probability of making a two-point shot is greater than the probability of making a three-point shot, why do coaches allow some players to shoot the three-point shot if they have the opportunity? Use expected value to explain your answer.
