We can use the formula for expected value:
Expected value = number of attempts x probability of success
In this case, the number of attempts is 90 and the probability of success is 1/3.
Expected value = 90 x 1/3
Expected value = 30
Therefore, we would expect the basketball player to make 30 shots in 90 attempts.
