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. (Click Here for Help Video)(10 points)
To find the probability of John making all three free throws, we multiply the probability of making one free throw by itself three times:
P(making all three free throws) = (0.55)^3
P(making all three free throws) = 0.55 * 0.55 * 0.55
P(making all three free throws) = 0.166375
Therefore, the percent chance that John makes all three free throws is 16.6375%.
