Answer:
a. 0.81
b. 0.81
Explanation:
Let's assume that the player makes x% of his free throws. Then, the probability that he will make both free throws is (x/100)^2, and he will make at least one free throw is 1 - (1 - x/100)^2.
So if he makes 90% of his free throws, then:
a. The probability that he will make both free throws is (90/100)^2 = 0.81.
b. The probability that he will make at least one free throw is 1 - (1 - 90/100)^2 = 1 - (1 - 0.9)^2 = 1 - 0.19 = 0.81.
The answers to the questions rounded to 4 decimal places are:
a. 0.81
b. 0.81
