Suppose you model a game of chance with a discrete probability distribution. Let X be the net amount of money or lost by the player. Let pX be the probability of the corresponding outcome. The three events are as follows: There is a 23% chance the player wins 7 dollars. there is a 38% chance the player loses 4 dollars. there is a 39% chance the player breaks even.

Suppose that Stephen makes 95% 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 to intentionally foul the other team's worst free- throw shooter. Assume that Stephen's team's center makes 57% of his free-throw shots. Calculate the 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) =
