(1 point) 18. Assume that a procedure yields a geometric distribution where the probability of success is 19%. Use the geometric probability formula to find the probability that the first success occurs on the third trial. O 0.125 O 0.207 O 0.469 O 0.544 (1 point) 19. Wayne is at basketball practice preparing to shoot three-pointers. The probability of Wayne making a three-pointer is 21%. What is the probability he makes his first three-pointer on the fourth shot? O 8%...

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.
Let X1 and X2 denote the number of three point attempts required respectively by Jack and Jill for to get their first successful three pointer. When Jack joined Jill in a three point shoot-out, Jill had already made k unsuccessful attempt. Assume that Jack and Jill both are equally good in their ability to hit three point shot and that the probability of successful three point shot for each of them is 0.3. What is the probability that Jill will...
A basketball player with an 85 % free throw percentage (average probability of making a free throw) takes 10 independent free throws and records the outcome. (a) What is the probability of making exactly 6 free throws? (b) What is the probability of making at least one free throw? (c) What is the probability of making between 7 and 10 free throws? (d) What is the probability that the first made free throw is the 3rd shot attempt? (e) What...
A college basketball player makes 80% of his free throws. At the end of a game, his team is losing by two points. He is fouled attempting a 3-point shot and is awarded three free throws. Assuming each free throw is independent, what is the probability that he makes at least one of the free throws?
You are a statistician covering the Golden State Warriors of the NBA. The Warriors are down by 2 points in game 7 of the Western Conference Finals Kevin Durant is fouled while attempting (and not making) a3-pointer with 1 second left in the game. He goes to the foul line to shoot 3 free throws. Durant is an 83% free throw shooter (meaning that he successfully makes 83% of his free throws. Answer questions 15-17 What is the probability Durant...
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...
