Question

Your favorite basketball player is a 84% free throw shooter. Find the probability (as a percent) that he doesNOT make his next free throw shot.Write your answer as a percent.

Answer 1

For this problem we recall that

`P(X)=1-P(X^c)^{}`

In this case P(X) is the probability that the player fails the shot. Susbtituting the given information we get:

`P(X)=1-0.84=0.16`

Answer: 16%
