sam makes 70% of his free throws what is the probability that sam makes 2 free throws in a row

1/7

To calculate the probability that Sam makes two free throws in a row, we need to multiply the probabilities of the individual events together.

If Sam makes 70% of his free throws, it means he has a 0.7 probability of making each free throw. So, the probability of him making two free throws in a row would be:

0.7 (probability of making the first free throw) * 0.7 (probability of making the second free throw).

Calculating this:

0.7 * 0.7 = 0.49

Therefore, the probability that Sam makes two free throws in a row is 0.49, or 49%.

To find the probability that both/all events occur, you multiply the probability of the individual events.
