Question 1157402: The probability Michael makes a shot from his desk into the wastebasket is 0.6
a.) What is the probability Micheal shoots and misses?
p(Michael misses the shot) =
b.) What is the probability Michael makes3 shots in a row?
P(Michael makes 3 shots in a row) =
c.) What is the probability Michael misses his first three shots and makes his fourth shot?
P(no basket until the fourth shot) =
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a.) What is the probability Micheal shoots and misses?
p(Michael misses the shot) = 1-0.6 =0.4
b.) What is the probability Michael makes3 shots in a row?
P(Michael makes 3 shots in a row) = 0.6* 0.6 *0.6 =.216
c.) What is the probability Michael misses his first three shots and makes his fourth shot? = (0.4)*(0.4)*(0.4)*0.6 =.0384
P(no basket until the fourth shot) = (0.4)*(0.4)*(0.4)*(0.4) = .0256
