Question

very morning, Laura practices shooting basketball free throws.  She doesn’t shoot a fixed amount, instead she keeps shooting free throws until she makes 12.  Suppose Laura is an 82% free throw shooter.

Let X be how many free throws Laura will miss tomorrow morning.  Then X has a negative binomial distribution.

What is a trial?                        

What is a success?                        

How many successes are required? r =                           

What is the success probability?  p =
