Basketball player Shaquille O’Neal makes a free-throw shot about 65% of the time. Find the probability that the first shot O’Neal makes is the (a) second shot, (b) the first
shot, (c) O’Neal does not make the first two shots.

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.

think the answer is 30 degrees. if not than it is 20 degrees. not 100% sure. let me know if it was right.

the equation of the parabola is y2=12x

explanation:

the vertex is midway between the focus ad the directrix

so, the vertex is (0,0)

let p=(x,y) be a point on the parabola.

the distance of p from the directrix is equal to the distance from the focus.

x+3=√(x−3)2+(y−0)2

(x+3)2=(x−3)2+y2

x2+6x+9=x2−6x+9+y2

y2=12x

graph{y^2=12x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
