Question

John makes 35% of his free throw shots.

Answer 1

Answer:

(1)0.39

(2)0.14

(3)0.21

(4)0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

John makes 35% of his free throw shots.

• The probability that John makes his shot =0.35
• The probability that John misses his shot =1-0.35=0.65

Sue makes 40% of her free throw shots.

• The probability that Sue makes her shot =0.4
• The probability that Sue misses her shot =1-0.4=0.6

(1)John and sue both miss their shots

P(John and sue both miss their shots)

=P(John miss his shot) X P(Sue misses her shot)

=0.65 X 0.6 =0.39

(2)John and Sue both make their shots

P(John and Sue both make their shots)

=P(John makes his shot) X P(Sue makes her shot)

=0.35 X 0.4=0.14

(3)John makes his shot and Sue misses  hers

P(John makes his shot and Sue misses  hers)

=P(John makes his shot) X P(Sue misses her shot)

=0.35 X 0.6=0.21

(4)John misses his shot and Sue makes  hers

P(John misses his shot and Sue makes  hers)

=P(John miss his shot) X P(Sue makes her shot)

=0.65 X 0.4 =0.26
