    B; 0.88^9

    Step-by-step explanation:

    in this question, we are tasked with calculating the probability that Chris Paul makes all of his 9 free throws.

    Firstly, we write the probability of scoring a free throw. From the question, this was given to be 88% and that is 88/100 = 0.88

    now, to calculate the probability of making the next nine, what to do is to multiply the probability by itself in a total of 9 time

    This is;

    0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 = 0.88^9
