free throws. What is the probability that he succeeds in
minus 7 of his next 10 free throws?

Video Video

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

the probability that Marco succeeds in minus 7 of his next 10 free throws, you can use the binomial probability formula.

The formula for the probability of x successes in n trials, where the probability of success in each trial is p, is:

P(X = x) = (n choose x) * p^x * (1 - p)^(n-x)
