Question

Hi can someone please help meee

Brian plays basketball. In the past he has made 4 out of every 5 free throws. What is the probability, as a decimal, that Brian will make the next two free throws?

Answer 1

0.64

Explanation:

4 out of 5 free throws is 0.8 as a decimal.

The probability that Brian will make 2 free throws is 0.8 for the first one, and then 0.8 of that for the second one. That means you multiply the two to get your answer and 0.8 times 0.8 = 0.64.
