3. The point guard of a basketball team has to make a decision about whether or not to shoot a three- point attempt or pass the ball to another player who will shoot a two-point shot. The point guard makes three-point shots 30 percent of the time, while his teammate makes the two-point shot 48 percent of the time. X; 3 0 P(x;) 0.30 0.70 X; 2 0 P(x;) 0.48 0.52 a. What is the expected value for each choice? b. Should he pass the ball or take the shot himself? Explain.
