Probability theory predicts that there is a 56.6% chance of a particular basketball player making 5 free throws in a row. If the basketball player taking 5 free throws is simulated 5000 times, in about how many of the simulations would you expect at least 1 missed free throw?

Answer with explanation:

It is given that ,According to Probability theory there is a 56.6% chance of a particular basketball player making 5 free throws in a row.

If, Number of throws=5,000

So, number of throws in which basketball player will make 5 free throws

=56.6 % of 5,000


=(56.6)/(100)* 5000=2830

Number of Simulation , in which the basketball player can have at least 1 missed free throw

= 5000-2830

=2170
