Question

the probability of a basketball player hitting a foul shot is 1/3. how many shots would you expect her to make in 90 attempts?

Answer 1

30 shots will be foul because 1/3(90)= 30

Answer 2

90 attempts are made and only one third are successful. Multiply the attempts by successes and you get 30 successful shots (90 x 1/3= 30).
