Question

Juan tried 16 free throw attempts playing basketball. He succeeded 9 times what is the experiential probability of not succeeding on his next attempt? write as a fraction

Answer 1

The probability of not succeeding next attempt is 7/16

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are asked to write the probability of not succeeding in the next attempt given that he attempted 9 success out of 16 trials.

To calculate this probability of not succeeding, we need to get it from the number of unsuccessful throws.

Thus, if 9 throws are successful out of 16, then the number of unsuccessful throws will be 16-9 = 7

So the probability of not succeeding on next attempt will be 7/16
