John has to make all 3 free throws to win the game. Assume each free throw is an independent event and that the pressure of the situation has no impact on him. If John is a 55% free throw shooter what is the percent chance that John makes all three free throws? Do not round your answer

Answer 1

From the given information, we know that the probability of John making a free throw is 0.55 and the probability of him missing a free throw is 0.45.

To find the probability of John making all three free throws, we multiply the probability of him making a free throw by itself three times:

0.55 * 0.55 * 0.55 = 0.166375

Therefore, the probability that John makes all three free throws is 0.166375 or 16.6375%.
