The Probability that Jodi makes a basket when playing basketball is .50, Jamal’s probability is .80 and Pat’s is .75. What is the probability that all three make a basket?
if they each get one shot P=.50*.80*.75=.3 = 30%
To find the probability that all three individuals make a basket, you need to multiply their individual probabilities together.
Given:
Jodi's probability (J) = 0.50
Jamal's probability (Jm) = 0.80
Pat's probability (P) = 0.75
To calculate the probability that all three make a basket, you multiply their individual probabilities:
P(J and Jm and P) = P(J) * P(Jm) * P(P)
P(J and Jm and P) = 0.50 * 0.80 * 0.75
P(J and Jm and P) = 0.3
Therefore, the probability that all three individuals make a basket is 0.3 or 30%.
