Question:

1. A basketball player makes each free-throw with a probability of .6 and is on the line for a one-and-one free throw. (That is, a second throw is allowed only if the first is successful.) Assume that the two throws are independent. What do you think is the most likely result: scoring 0 points, 1 point, or 2 points? After making a guess, calculate the three probabilities?
2. Rework Exercise 59 with a probability of .7?
