Exhibit: Basketball Player A basketball player makes 80 percent of his free throws during the regular season. Consider his next eight free throws. Please, include at least 4 decimal places in the answers with fractions. a) What is the probability that the player will make more than 4 free throws? b).What is the probability that the player will make less than 5 free throws? c).What is the probability that the player will make at most 5 free throws?

Step 1
- Probability of making 5 free throws: 0.80^5 * 0.20^3 = 0.0264 - Probability of making 6 free throws: 0.80^6 * 0.20^2 = 0.0107 - Probability of making 7 free throws: 0.80^7 * 0.20^1 = 0.0032 - Probability of making 8 free throws: 0.80^8 = 0.0007 - Total Show more…

Suppose that an NBA player is an 80% free throw shooter and is awarded two free throws. Find the probability that the player makes at least one free throw.

Two basketball players are very different when it comes to making free throws. Justin makes 80% of his free throw shots while Mark makes 75% of his free throws. Assume that the free throws are independent and that each player shoots two free throws during a team practice. (a) What is the probability that Justin makes both of his free throws? (b) What is the probability that Mark makes exactly one of his two free throws? (c) What is the probability that Justin makes both of his free throws and Mark makes neither of his? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Determine which of the following probability experiments represents a binomial experiment. If the probability experiment is not a binomial experiment, state why. A basketball player who makes $80 \%$ of her free throws is asked to shoot free throws until she misses. The number of free-throw attempts is recorded.
