Question

The Dallas Mavericks trail by two points and have the
ball with 10 seconds remaining. They must decide whether
to take a two- or a three-point shot. Assume that once the
Mavericks take their shot, time expires. The probability that
a two-point shot is successful is TWO, and the probability
that a three-point shot is successful is THREE. If the game
is tied, an overtime period will be played. Assume that there
is a .5 chance the Mavericks will win in overtime. (Note:
This problem is often used on Microsoft job interviews.)
a Give a rule based on the values of TWO and THREE
that tells Dallas what to do.
b Typical values for an NBA team are TWO .45 and
THREE .35. Based on this information, what strategy
should most NBA teams follow?
