Abasketball player makes 40% of his shots from the free throw line. suppose that each of his shots can be considered independent and that he throws 3 shots. let x = the number of shots that he makes. what is the probability that he makes 2 shots or less?

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.936 = 93.6% probability that he makes 2 shots or less.

-------------------

For each throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player makes it, or he misses it. The probability of making a throw is independent of any other throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

In this question:

The probability of making 2 or less is the probability that he does not make all of them, that is:

In which

0.936 = 93.6% probability that he makes 2 shots or less.

sorry

step-by-step explanation:

sorry, but im pretty sure its a now that i look at it

the answer is:

the lateral area is equal to

to find the lateral area of the square pyramid, first we need to find the perimeter of the base, and then, find the lateral area using the following formulas:

where,

s, is the base length

slant height, is the height of a the side of the pyramid

we are given:

now, calculating the perimeter of the base, we have:

then, calculating the lateral area:

hence, we have that the lateral area is equal to

have a nice day!
