Answer:

.57 or 57%

Explanation:

If a basketball player has a free-throw shooting percentage of 43%, it means that she makes 43% of her free throws on average. Therefore, the probability that she will miss her next free throw is equal to the complement of her shooting percentage, which is 1 minus 0.43. This simplifies to 0.57 or 57%. So, the probability that she will miss her next free throw is 57%.
