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

Cylinders are 3D figures, as they are solids with volume and take up space.

2D figures are flat figures that you can draw, like a square or circle.

1D figures are actually just a line, a segment, or a point, etc.
