1.55. Kobe Bryant For his NBA career the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant made 1827 out of 5546 three-point field goal attempts during the regular season. (a) Find the proportion of made three-point attempts for Bryant during his career. (b) Suppose Bryant were to attempt one three-point shot in his next game. Assuming his current shooting matches his career, what is the probability he makes the shot? What is the probability he misses the shot? (c) Assume that Bryant's three-point shot attempts are independent and identical, what is the probability that he makes three in a row? Hint: When trials are independent, you can multiply to find probabilities. (d) Consider the following statement "Bryant has taken two three-point shot attempts and missed both. He is almost certainly going to make his next attempt." State whether you agree or disagree with the statement. Then, in a sentence or two, explain why you either agree or disagree. 1.55.
