Answer:

0.1306

Explanation:

This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of free throws

x = Number of successes required = 6

p = probability of success = 0.60

q = probability of failure = 1 - 0.60 = 0.40

P(X = 6) = ⁷C₆ (0.6)⁶ (0.4)⁷⁻⁶ = 0.1306368 = 0.1306

Hope this Helps!!!
