Answer:

0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of p is shown below;

P in the case (2 points if not fouled) = 0.6

Now Expected points if not fouled is

= 0.6 × 2

= 1.2

Now Expected points from free throw is

0 × (1-p)^2 + 1 × 2p(1-p) + 2 × p^2 = 2p

As we can see that 2p would be lower tha  1.2 in order to make a foul on shooter that represent all values of p<0.06 would be considered to foul in the shooter
