    Answer: The answer is 17.71%.

    Step-by-step explanation: Given that Coram is preparing to shoot free throws at basketball practice.

    The probability that Coram will make a free throw = 77% = 0.77.

    So, the probability of Coram miss the throw = 1 - 0.77 = 0.23.

    Therefore, the probability that he makes his first throw on the second shot

    = probability of missing the throw in first shot * probability of making a throw

    = 0.23 * 0.77

    =0.1771

    17.71%.

    Thus, the required probability is 17.71%.
