Answer:
Probability of making none of next 5 free throws = 0.00243
Step-by-step explanation:
"Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one"
So the probability of making none of next 5 free throws
= Probability of missing next 5 free throws
= Probability of missing 1 free throw^5
"...he makes his free throws 70%" so the probability of missing 1 free throw = 1-70% = 0.3
So the probability of making none of next 5 free throws = 0.3^5
= 0.00243
Answer:
0.0024
Step-by-step explanation:
Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability of next FTs
P(none of next 5 FTs)
=P(miss next FT)*P(miss next FT)*P(miss next FT)*P(miss next FT)*P(miss next FT)
=P(miss next FT)^5
= (1 - P(make next FT))^5
= (1 - 0.7)^5
= 0.3^5
=0.0024
