John has to make all 3 free throws to win the game. Assume each free throw is an independent event and that the pressure of the situation has no impact on him. If John is a 55% free throw shooter what is the percent chance that John makes all three free throws? Do not round your answer
From the given information, we know that the probability of John making a free throw is 0.55 and the probability of him missing a free throw is 0.45.
To find the probability of John making all three free throws, we multiply the probability of him making a free throw by itself three times:
0.55 * 0.55 * 0.55 = 0.166375
Therefore, the probability that John makes all three free throws is 0.166375 or 16.6375%.
