The probability of a basketball player hitting a foul shot is one-third. How many shots would you expect her to make in 90 attempts?

Question

bonjo · Answer

1/3 of her try will be a foul i.e. 90x1/3 = 30. so 30 attempts are foul. the remaining 60 attempts would be her best shot... hope that helps..

It would be 30 because that is 1/3 of 90

Cog · Answer

30 shots is how many she wouldn't make, since 1/3 is how many she misses. If she makes 90 shots, and misses 1/3, (30) then she would score 60. Bonjo is correct
