Question

Jeremy Lin can hit a free throw 81% of the time. Suppose that every free throw is an independent event. In a 10- free throw practice, what is the probability that Jeremy Lin will hit all 10 shots?

Answer 1

This is a binomial distribution with `n=10 and p=0.81`

Explanation:

`P(X=10)=(10!)/[10!xx0!]xx(0.81)^10(1-0.81)^0=0.81^10~~0.1216`
