Chris Paul 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 88% of the time.
What is the probability of Chris Paul making all of his next 9 free
throws attempts.
Choose 1 answer:
A) 9.088
B) 0.88^9
C) (1-0.88)^9
D) 9×(1-0.88)

Basketball player Kemba Walker makes free throws 81% of the time. Find the probability that he missed his first shot but makes his next 2 free throws?
Joe is attempting basketball free throws. The probability of success on each attempt is 0.39 and his consecutive attempts are independent of each other. Answer the following questions. If Joe attempts three free throws, what is the probability he has at least one success? (a) Let X be the number of attempts required for Joe to observe his first successful free throw. What kind of discrete random distribution for X? (Binomial, Poisson, or none of them) (b) If Joe attempts...
Suppose a basketball player is an excellent free throw shooter and makes 91% of his free throws (i.e., he has a 91% chance of making a single free throw). Assume that free throw shots are independent of one another. Suppose this player shoots five free throws. Find the probability that he makes all five throws.

5. Your university star basketball player is having a difficult night of free throws. His long range probability of making free throws is 80%, however, tonight he only made 2 out of 4 shots. Fans think he was nervous. Let's use simulation to see how likely it is for him to only make 2 out of 4 shots. Random Assignment: Let numbers 0-7 represent "Making the Shot Let numbers 8, 9 represent "Missing the Shot" Use the random number generator...
4. A basketball player practices making 100 free throws every day. The probability that she makes each free throw is p=0.6. You may assume that each free throw's outcome is independent of every other free throw's outcome. a) What is the probability that she makes all 100 free throws? b) What is the probability that she makes half of the 100 free throws? b) What is the expected number of free throws that she misses? c) What is the variance...
12. (10 points) A college basketball player makes 90% of his free throws. Assuming free-throw attempts are independent. Over the course of the season, he will attempt 100 free throws. a) Use binomial distribution to find the exact probability that the number of free throws he makes is between 85 and 95, inclusive b) Check the conditions for using the normal appreciation to the binomial distribution. c) Use normal approximation to estimate the probability that the number of free throws...

A randomly selected competitive cyclist takes performance enhancing drugs with probability use. If Chris doesn't use drugs 0.1. The cyclist Chris Crumb is tested each week for drug then his test score each week follows a Pois(5) distribution. If Chris does use drugs then his test score each week follows a Pois(15) distribution. Each week's test score is independent To answer this question you may use the numbers from the following Rstudio output, but give all your workings to obtain...
380 free throws u In basketball, the top free throw shooters usually have a probability of about 0.90 of making any given free throw. Over the course of a season, one such player shoots a. Find the mean and standard deviation of the probability distribution of the number of free throws he makes b. By the normal distribution approximation, within what range would the number of free throws made almost certainly fall? Why? c. Within what range would the proportion...
