A professional basketball player makes 88% of the free throws he
tries. Assuming this percentage will hold true for future attempts,
find the probability that in the next 8 tries, the number of free
throws he will make is exactly 8.
Round your answer to four decimal places.
P (exactly 8)= ???
Let x be a random variable that represents the percentage of successful free throws a professional basketball player makes in a season. Let y be a random variable that represents the percentage of successful field goals a professional basketball player makes in a season. A random sample of n = 6 professional basketball players gave the following information.

A basketball player makes 75% of the free throws he tries. If
the player attempts 10 free throws in a game, find the probability
that:
the player will make at most six free throws.
the player will make at least eight free throws.
A basketball player is practicing his free throws. This player's
probability of making a free throw over his career is 0.592. He
will shoot 140 free throws.
a) Define a random variable, and write out the probability mass
function for the number of free throws this player makes on his 140
attempts.
b) What is the probability that this player makes between 60 and
62 free throws, inclusive?
c) What is the expected value and variance of the number of...
Suppose a basketball player has made 216 out of 339 free throws.
If the player makes the next 2 free throws, you will be paid 12 ,
otherwise, you will pay 26. Find th expected value of the
"game"?
Suppose a basketball player has made 213 out of 427 free throws.
If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $115.
Otherwise you pay me $37. Step 2 of 2 : If you played this game 659
times how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer
to two decimal places. Losses must be entered as negative.
Suppose a basketball player has made 287 out of 334 free throws.
If the player makes the next 3 free throws, I will pay you $12.
Otherwise you pay me $20. Step 2 of 2 : If you played this game 872
times how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer
to two decimal places. Losses must be entered as negative.
Suppose a basketball player has made 305 out of 372 free throws.
If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $5.
Otherwise you pay me $10. Step 2 of 2 : If you played this game 626
times how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer
to two decimal places. Losses must be entered as negative.
