Question

In 2018-2019 season, Adam had a free throw success percentage of 64.2%. Assume that free throw shots are independent and that he had 8 free throws in a game.

Let X= number of free throws made in the next game.

-X has a binomial distribution, state the value of n and p.

-Find the binomial properties. Create a probability distribution table for X and show this probability distribution below.

(Write the following in terms of x in part A and in part B determine the probabability)

1. -Half are made

a. x=

b. Probabability=

2. Compute the mean and standard deviation for the probability distribution. Interpret the values that you calculate in the context of this problem.
