Question 455606: I am suppose to solve a problem, where I have the Free throw % of 3 players, I am to assume each player is shooting a 1-1 (where you get one shot, if you make it you get a second shot, if you miss you do not get a second shot) and I must solve the probability for each player to score 0,1, or 2 points. I am just looking for help on getting started, I'm not sure what i need to do?
My FT %'s are as follows:
.8857
.8479
.775

You can put this solution on YOUR website! each shot is an independent event ___ the probability for multiple shots is the PRODUCT of the individual probabilities
the probability of missing is ___ one minus the probability of making
1st player
___ miss 1st ___ 1 - .8857
___ make 1st, miss 2nd ___ (.8857)(1 - .8857)
___ make 1st, make 2nd ___ (.8857)(.8857)
the other players follow the same pattern (with different numbers)
