Answer:

The probability that a 51% free-throw shooter will miss her next free throw is 49%.

Explanation:

By definition, a 51% free throw shooter will have a 51% chance of making their next shot.

And a 100%-51%=49% chance of missing their next shot.

Therefore, the probability that a 51% free-throw shooter will miss her next free throw is 49%.
