Answer:

(b) 0.4

Explanation:

You want the experimental probability that Antonia will make both of her next two free throw attempts.

Experimental probability

The "experimental" probability is the fraction of times the outcome of interest occurred in the trials used for the experiment.

Here, Antonia made both free throws in trials 2, 5, 9, and 10 of the ten trials, so her record for making both free throws is 4 out of 10 trials. We are to assume this 4/10 ratio is the probability that the next 2 attempts will result in Antonia making both free throws.

The experimental probability of making both free throws is 0.4, choice B.
