n = 20, x = 18, p = 0.7
Using Binomial distribution and Excel's function BINOM.DIST.RANGE(n, p, start x, end x)
Probability that the player scores at least 18 successful shots tonight if he gets 20 shots: P(x > 18)
= P(x=18) + P(x=19) + P(x=20)
= BINOM.DIST.RANGE(20,0.7,18,20)
= 0.03548

Suppose a basketball player is an excellent free throw (shots awarded when a player is fouled) shooter and makes 80% of his free throws (or he has and 80% chance of making a single free throw). Assume that free throw shots are independent of one another. Suppose this player gets to shoot four free throws. Find the probability that he makes four consecutive free 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?
A basketball player has made 55% of his foul shots during the season. Assuming the shots are independent, what's the expected number of shots until he misses? The player is expected to take shots until the first miss. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A soccer team estimates that they will score on 11% of the corner kicks. In next week's game, the team hopes to kick 15 corner kicks. What are the chances that they wil score on...
a) With a fixed probability of p for scoring three pointers, a basketball player takes 5 independent shots. What is the probability that he scores 1 shot in the first 3, and 1 again in the last 2 shots? b) In a series of indepedent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials, why is the index of the second successful trial not a geometric random variable? Explain.
basketball player Sheryl Swoopes scores on 85% of her foul shots. If Swoopes has eight foul shots during a game, what is the probability that she will score on exactly seven of them?
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...
A basketball player sinks 50% of the 1500 shots he takes at the basket over a season. In the next season, he sinks 48% of the 1260 shots at basket. What is the probability that the performance in season 2 is better than that in season 1?
