A basketball player can make a free throw 70% of the time. Assume that a sequence of free-throw shooting can be thought of independent Bernoulli trials. The standard deviation of the minimum number of free throws that this player must attempt to make a total of 10 shot= (write your answer in a numeric form up to 1 decimal place)
