Question

a place kickee in pro football has a 77% probability of making a field goal over 40 yards and each attempted field goal is independent. if the kicker made his first two but missed his third attempt and now is trying for his fourth What is the probability that he will make it?​

Answer 1

The probability of making his 4th attempt is 0.77, since the probability of each attempt is independent.

The probability of making a field goal over 40 yards is 77%

Since the probability of making a field goal is independent, then the probability of succeeding in his 4th attempt does not depend on his previous attempts.

Hence, the probability of making his fourth attempt is the probability of making a field goal over 40 yards in each attempt which is 77% = 0.77

Hence, the probability of making it is 0.77
