Mike shoots 65 freethrows. He makes 20. What is the probability he will make the next shot?

Assuming the question wants the empirical probability, it can be calculated by dividing the number of freethrows he made by the total shoots. This will be:


P=(20)/(65)=(4)/(13)

So, the empirical probability of making the next one is 4/13, which is approximately 30.77 %.
