Kevin is playing basketball with joy. Based on existing experience, kevin generally managed to make 8 free throws out of 10 throws. Unlike Kevin, generally joy only managed to make 3 free throws out of 10 throws. That afternoon, the two of them competed with each other for free throws. If it is assumed that both Kevin and Joy are free throws and have an equal chance of entering the ring, a.
