Question

In basketball, Anthony makes 1 out of every 4 throws he tries. What is the probability that Anthony will make his next 3 free throws? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(success) = ¼

Next three successes:

¼ × ¼ × ¼

= 1/64

0.015625 × 100

1.5625 %

Answer 2

Answer:

1.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability he makes a throw is .25

P(1st throw) =.25

P (2nd throw) =.25

P(3rd throw) = .25

P(make 1, then make 2, then make 3) = .25*.25*.25 =.015625

Changing to percent form = 1.5625%

To the nearest tenth percent

1.6%
