Question 295869: a basketball player hits a three-point shot 45% of the time. If she takes 4 shots during the game, what is the probability that she will miss the first shot and hit the last three shots? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a basketball player hits a three-point shot 45% of the time. If she takes 4 shots during the game, what is the probability that she will miss the first shot and hit the last three shots?
------------------------------------
P(miss a shot) = 0.55
---
P(miss 3) = (0.55)^3 = 0.1664
