A basketball player hits 90% of his shots. What is the probability tat he makes the next 3 shots?
(.90)(.90)(.90) = 0.729
72.9% probability
Pr=.9^3
To find the probability that the basketball player makes the next 3 shots, you can multiply the probability of making a single shot by itself three times, since these events are independent.
Given that the player hits 90% of his shots, the probability of making a single shot is 0.9, or 90%.
To calculate the probability of making the next 3 shots, you multiply the probability of making one shot by itself three times:
0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.729.
Therefore, the probability that the basketball player makes the next 3 shots is 0.729, which is approximately 72.9%.
To find the probability that the basketball player makes the next 3 shots, we can calculate the probability of making each individual shot and then multiply them together.
Given that the player hits 90% of his shots, the probability of making each individual shot is 0.9, or 90%.
To calculate the probability of making 3 consecutive shots, we multiply the probabilities together:
P(making 3 shots) = P(making shot 1) * P(making shot 2) * P(making shot 3)
= 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9
Calculating it:
P(making 3 shots) = 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9
= 0.729
Therefore, the probability that the basketball player makes the next 3 shots is 0.729, or 72.9%.
