Question

I don't know how to solve this please help

Glen Davis is shooting free throws. Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one, and he makes his free throws 74\%74%74, percent of the time.

Answer 1

Answer: Choice D
`(1-0.74)^4`

Reason:

74% = 0.74 represents the probability of him making any given free throw.

This means 1 - 0.74 is the probability of him missing.

Getting four misses in a row has a probability of (1-0.74)^4 which is the same as writing
`(1-0.74)^4`

In other words, we multiply exactly four copies of (1-0.74) to get our answer.
