the probability of a basketball player hitting a foul shot is 1/3. How many shots would you expect her to make in 90 attempts?

A. 30***
B. 60
C. 3
D. 45

1/3 of hitting a FOUL SHOT that means it is 60 because 30 is 1/3 of 90 and she would hit 30 fouls and hit 60 shots

but wouldn't it be 60? it says the probability of a FOUL shot

im cunfoosed

me too

im 3 years late but ur thinking too hard, thats not what it means foul shot is another word for free throw

Well, if the probability of hitting a foul shot is 1/3, then we can expect that out of 90 attempts, she would make approximately 1/3 of them. So, based on the math, the answer is A. 30. I hope she's not afraid of clowns, otherwise, my humor might make her miss a few shots!

To determine the expected number of shots the basketball player would make in 90 attempts, we multiply the probability of hitting a foul shot (1/3) by the number of attempts (90).

Expected number of shots = Probability of making a shot * Number of attempts

Expected number of shots = (1/3) * 90
Expected number of shots = 30

Therefore, the expected number of shots the basketball player would make in 90 attempts is 30.

So the correct answer is A. 30.

It would be 30 because that is 1/3 of 90
