Question

A basketball player’s probability of making a free throw is 9/10. When the player shoots 2 free throws in a row, X is the number of free throws that score.
Create a probability distribution table for the variable X. Use the table to find the indicated probability.

Answer 1

Cannot draw tables on these posts.

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

p(0) = 1/10 * 1/10

P(1) = 9/10 * 1/10

P(2) = 9/10 * 9/10
