A basketball player makes a shot 72.1% of the time (0.721 as a decimal). Study the player’s next three shots by doing the following: a. draw a tree diagram and label all the probabilites of the tree. b. Find and label the probability for each branch of the tree diagram c. Build a probability model showing the probability of the player making 0, 1, 2, or 3 shots

(5 pts each) A basketball player is fouled while attempting a shot for 2 points. If they make the shot, they shoot one free throw for one additional point. If they miss the shot, they shoot two free throws for one point each. Suppose the player has a 20% chance of making the shot and a 65% chance of making each free throw. • (1) Draw a Tree Diagram for this experiment. • (2) What is the probability that the...
A basketball player has a 0.384 probability of making a three-point shot. What is the probability that it takes the player 4 tries to make a three-point shot? Round the final answer to two decimal places. Provide your answer below A basketball player has a 0.384 probability of making a three-point shot. What is the probability that it takes the player 4 tries to make a three-point shot? Round the final answer to two decimal places. Provide your answer below
A basketball player has a 0.437 probability of making a three-point shot. What is the probability that it takes the player 4tries to make a three-point shot? Round the final answer to three decimal places.
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?
A basketball player has a 0.542 probability of making a three-point shot. What is the probability that it takes the player 5 tries to make a three-point shot?
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.
A basketball player makes 30% of his three point attempts a. If six shots are made in a game what are the mean and standard deviation of the number made? b. What is the probability that at least 2 will be made?
Donovan Mitchell is a basketball player who plays for the Utah Jazz. For the 2017-2018 year, Mitchell’s shooting percentage was 0.502. (This is 2 pointers only.) Thus, we can think of him as a machine that, on average makes, 50.2 % of his shots. (There is a lot of analysis to debunk things like “having a hot hand” or “being on a roll”.) On average, Mitchell takes 10 shots per game. a) Let X be the random variable that represents...
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...
