Question

A basketball player has a 0.6 probability of making a free throw. What is his probability of making two consecutive free throws. Remember free throws are independent of each other. Show work and solve.

Answer 1

Answer:0.36

Explanation:

Given

Probability of a free throw =0.6

It is given that the two throws are independent of each other

So, the Probability of making two consecutive throws

`P=\text{Probability of first throw}* \text{Probability of second throw}\\P=0.6* 0.6=0.36`
