Question

In basketball, Nicole makes 4 baskets for every 10 shots. If she takes 3 shots, what is the probability that exactly 2 of them will be baskets

Answer 1

0.288

Explanation:

Calculation for what is the probability that exactly 2 of them will be baskets

In order for us to find the probability that exactly 2 of them will be baskets we would have to make use of binomial distribution using Microsoft Excel

P =4 baskets/10 shots=0.4,

x = 2

n = 3 shots

P(2)=BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION(2,3,0.4,FALSE)

P(2)=0.288

Therefore the probability that exactly 2 of them will be baskets is 0.288
