Suppose that Nathan makes 93% 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 tointentionally foul the other team's worst free-throw shooter, Assume that Nathan's team's center makes 56% of his free-throw shots. Calculatethe 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) -

4.35 How many courses? At a small liberal arts college, students can register for one to six courses. Let X be the number of courses taken in the fall by a randomly selected student from this college. In a typical fall semester, 6% take one course, 6% take two courses, 12% take three courses, 20% take four courses, 41% take five courses, and 15% take six courses. Let X be the number of courses taken in the fall by a randomly selected student from this college. Describe the probability distribution of this random variable.
Helen plays basketball. Helen must now attempt two free throws. C = the event that Helen succeeds on the first shot with P(C) = 0.50. D = the event Helen succeeds on the second shot with P(D)= 0.50.
