You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A) Let X = r.v. equal to shots made from a free throw situation. The possible values of X are 0, 1, or 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two-shot: \"P%28X=0%29+=+C%282%2C0%29%2A0.7%5E0%2A0.3%5E2+=+0.09\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%28X=1%29+=+C%282%2C1%29%2A0.7%5E1%2A0.3%5E1+=+0.42\", and \"P%28X=2%29+=+C%282%2C2%29%2A0.7%5E2%2A0.3%5E0+=+0.49\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1-and-1: \"P%28X=0%29+=+0.50\", \"P%28X=1%29+=+0.50%2A0.50++=0.25\", and \"P%28X=2%29+=+0.50%2A0.50++=0.25\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B) 2-shot: \"E%28X%29+=+0%2A0.09+%2B+1%2A0.42+%2B+2%2A0.49+=+1.4\"
\n" ); document.write( "1-and-1: \"E%28X%29+=+0%2A0.50+%2B+1%2A0.25+%2B+2%2A0.25+=+0.75\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C) 2-shot: 20*1.4 = 28
\n" ); document.write( "1-and-1: 30*0.75 = 22.5
\n" ); document.write( "She would be expected to score \"highlight%2850.5%29\" points from free throws that season.
