Matt makes 62% of the free throw shots he attempts. He is fouled and is attempting two free throw shots. What is the probability that he will score 1 point?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability that he will score 1 point is 85.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mat will make  2 shots, and he has to score 1.

So,  we are looking for the probability of score in the first shot or in the second.

Both probabilities are 62%

P(1 or 2) = P(1) + P(2) - P(1 AND 2)

P(1 AND 2)=  P(1) x P(2)= 0.62 x 0.62=0.3844

P(1 or 2) = 0.62 + 0.62 -0.3844

P(1 or 2) = 0.8556‬
