  1. Suppose a basketball player makes 36% of the 3-point shots, 60% of the 2-point shots and 70% of the free throw (1 point) shots they take?
  1. How many points does the player make per 3-point shot?

               

  1. How many points does the player make per 2-point shot?            

  1. Should they be taking more 3 point shots or 2 point shots? (according to math)

  1. Should they be taking more 3 point shots or 2 point shots? (according to game situations)

  1. Suppose that this player takes 10 3-point shots, 20 2-point shots and 13 free throws in a game. How many points will they score, on average?

  1. If they play 70 games a season, how many total points would they have for the season?

The Grizzlies are a basketball team. Collectively, the team makes 36% for 3-point shots, and 50% from long 2-point shots. They currently take as many long-range 2-point shots as 3-point shots in each game. One of the coaches has been arguing that the team should take more 3-pointers, given these percentages. Assume that if they take more or less 3’s or 2’s, the percentage they make will not change. Apply the concept of expected value to this example and to...

Assume a college basketball player makes 75% of his free throws and that the outcome of free throw attempts are independent. a) The basketball player is fouled and is awarded two free throws. Develop a probability distribution for number of points (free throws made) for the two attempts. b) The basketball player is fouled and is awarded two free throws. What is the expected number of points for the two attempts? c) The basketball player is fouled and is awarded...

A basketball player takes 20 shots per game. The odds of making any single shot are 1 to 3. All shot attempts are independent, i.e. there are no “hot streaks". What is the probability that the player will make 5 or more shots in a game? Hint: First find the probability of making a single shot. Define a random variable X to represent the number of shots made in a game. State a reasonable probability distribution for X. Finally, you...

Let's say that you play basketball very well and you are at the free throw line 10 times during the Crown Invitational Basketball Tournament. The chance of you making a free throw is 90% based on the data from a full season of basketball games. If you shoot 10 free throws during this game... 1. What is the probability that you make exactly 9 shots? (we will assume all ten are independent from one another) 2. What is the probability...

Sue, a starting player for a major college basketball team, made only 38% of her free throws last year. During the summer she worked on developing a softer shot in the hope of improving her free-throw accuracy. In the first eight games of this season Sue made 22 free throws in 40 attempts. Assume that these 40 attempts represent a random sample of free throws. Let p be the probability of making each free throw she shoots this season. Does...

What is the probability the player makes exactly 6 of their 10 attempts? (That is, find P(X=6). Follow the examples on HB p. 19 and use Table C.) On average, how many of their 10 shots should the player expect to make? Our dedicated basketball player, attempts 10 free throws every day for the next year. Most days they will successfully make 3, 4 or 5 shots. Some days they will get really lucky and make 7, and other days...
