Question 1080555: Mary plays basketball, and last season she averaged 84% from the free throw line. In the last tournament, she had 18 free throw attempts.
Determine the probability of her scoring at least 14 of the 18 free throws.
What is her expected successful number of baskets? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! E(X)=18*.84=15.12 or 15
probability of at least 14 is
P(14)=18C14*.84^14*.16^4=0.1746
P(15)=18C15*.84^15*.16^3=0.2445
P(16)=18C16.84^16*.16^2=0.2407
P(17)=18*.84^17*.16=0.1486
P(18)=0.0434
Total=0.8518,
