Tim Duncan 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 72% of the time. What is the probability of Tim Duncan making all of his next 8 free throw attempts?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Hence, the probability of Tim Duncan making all of his next 8 free throw attempts is:

[tex](\dfrac{18}{25})^8=0.0722204136[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

As the probability of one free throw does not depend on the any other i.e. the probability of each throw is independent.

Hence, the probability of making all of his next 8 free throw is calculated as:

Probability of next 8 free throw=Probability of first free throw×probability o f second free throw×··················× Probability of 8th free throw.

i.e. it is given by:

[tex]Probability=\dfrac{72}{100}\times \dfrac{72}{100}\times \dfrac{72}{100}\times \dfrac{72}{100}\times \dfrac{72}{100}\times \dfrac{72}{100}\times \dfrac{72}{100}\times \dfrac{72}{100}\\\\\\Probability=(\dfrac{72}{100})^8\\\\Probability=(\dfrac{18}{25})^8[/tex]

Hence, the probability is:

[tex](\dfrac{18}{25})^8=0.0722204136[/tex]

We have that the he probability of Tim Duncan making all of his next 8 free throw attempts  is mathematically given as

[tex]P=0.72^8[/tex]

From the question we are told

  • Tim Duncan 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 72% of the time.
  • What is the probability of Tim Duncan making all of his next 8 free throw attempts?

Arithmetic

Generally the equation for the  binomial probability is mathematically given as

[tex]P=\frac{n!}{X!(n-X)!}*p^X*(1-p)^{n-X}\\\\Therefore\\\\ P=\frac{8!}{8!(8-8)!}*0.72^8*(1-0.72)^{0}[/tex]

[tex]P=0.72^8[/tex]
