Trevor Ariza is shooting free throws. Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one, and he makes his free throws 70%, percent of the time. What is the probability of Trevor Ariza making none of his next 5 free throw attempts?

    Probability of making none of next 5 free throws = 0.00243

    Step-by-step explanation:

    "Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one"

    So the probability of making none of next 5 free throws

    = Probability of missing next 5 free throws

    = Probability of missing 1 free throw^5

    " ... he makes his free throws 70%" so the probability of missing 1 free throw = 1-70% = 0.3

    So the probability of making none of next 5 free throws = 0.3^5

    = 0.00243

    0.0024

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability of next FTs

    P (none of next 5 FTs)

    =P (miss next FT) * P (miss next FT) * P (miss next FT) * P (miss next FT) * P (miss next FT)

    =P (miss next FT) ^5

    = (1 - P (make next FT)) ^5

    = (1 - 0.7) ^5

    = 0.3^5

    =0.0024
