Answer: The probability that the basketball player will miss her next free throw is 60 percent

Step-by-step explanation: So there is a chance they will make their next free throw of 40%, meaning there is still a 60% chance she will miss her free throw also.

Fraction form:

There is 40/100 chance she'll make it, and 60/100 chance she'll miss.

Decimal form:

There is a 0.4 percent chance she'll make it, and 0.6 chance she'll miss.

Have a nice day!
