Suppose that Stephen makes 95% of his free throws. Assume that late in a basketball game, he is fouled and is awarded two shots. (a) What is the probability that he will make both shots? (b) What is the probability that he will make at least one shot? (c) What is the probability that he will miss both shots? (d) Late in a basketball game, a team often intentionally fouls an opposing player in order to stop the game clock. The usual strategy is to intentionally foul the other team's worst free- throw shooter. Assume that Stephen's team's center makes 57% of his free-throw shots. Calculate the probabilities for the center as shown in parts (a), (b), and (c). Assume as in parts (a), (b), and (c) that two shots will be awarded. P(center makes two shots) = P(center makes at least one shot) = P(center misses both shots) =

Overall, Steve Dalkowski throws a strike with 17% of his pitches (that is, the probability that he throws a strike with any given pitch is .17). (a) In one game, Dalkowski throws 240 pitches. What is the probability that he throws exactly 40 strikes? (b) In one week, Dalkowski throws 400 pitches. What is the probability that he throws 80 or more strikes? Every day for eternity Dalkowski throws 100 pitches, and records the number of strikes. (c) Find the mean µ, and the standard deviation o, of the numbers (of strikes thrown on different days) that Dalkowski records.
A disease affects 1 out of 10,000 people. There is a test to check whether a person has the disease. The test is accurate. In particular, we know the following: (a) The probability that the test result is positive given that the person does not have the disease, is only 2 percent. (b) The probability that the test result is negative given that the person has the disease, is only 1 percent. Question: A random person gets tested for the disease and the result comes back positive. What is the probability that the person has the disease?
