Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.027 = 2.7% probability that he makes exactly 1 of the 3 free throws.
For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes, either he makes it, or he misses it. The results of free throws are independent from each other, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
In this problem:
- He makes 90% of the free throws, hence
.
- He is going to shoot 3 free throws, hence
.
The probability that he makes exactly 1 is P(X = 1), hence:
0.027 = 2.7% probability that he makes exactly 1 of the 3 free throws.

X=20. Sorry the photo is messy but I was rushing when I solved the problem
