(b) 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
If I am reading the little table right, You have made 9 shots, and have missed 6 of them. Therefore, in total, you have made shots.
The definition of probability is the number of events of a desired outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. Since you wish to make a shot for part a, the number of desired outcomes thus far is 9, out of 15 total shots. Thus,
making a shot
Since making a shot and not making a shot are mutually exclusive events, and the only two events that could occur when shooting a basket, the probability of not making a shot and the probability of making a shot are all of the possible outcomes, and is thus equal to 1.
