Question
A basketball player makes 70% of her free throws. When
fouled, she gets to take two free throws. Let X represent the
number of free throws made in two tries. The probability
distribution for the number of free throws she makes in two
attempts is summarized in the following table:
Number of free throws
made
Probability
P(X < 1)
O P(X > 1)
P(X ≤1)
0
O P(X ≥ 1)
0.09
1
The probability statement representing that she makes at
least one free throw is expressed as
0.42
2
0.49
