Question: Annie is a basketball player who makes, on average, 65% of her free throws. Assume each shot is independent and the probability of making any given shot is .65
A. What's the probability Annie will miss three straight free throws before she makes one? (If you use a calculator to get your answer, write your answer in standard notation, not calculator notation.) Edit
Answer: A. The required probability = (1 - 0.65)^3*0.65 = 0.0279 (Ans.)
