Question

one professional basketball player typically attempts eight free throws per game. let x represent the number of free throws made out of eight. the distribution for x is shown in the table. which of the following is the correct interpretation of p(x ≤ 3)? the probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is at most 3. the probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is at least 3. the probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is lower than 3. the probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is higher than 3.

Explanation:

In probability notation, \(P(X\leq3)\) means the probability that the random variable \(X\) takes on a value less than or equal to 3. When \(X\) represents the number of free - throws made out of 8, \(P(X\leq3)\) is the probability that the number of free - throws made is at most 3.

Answer:

The probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is at most 3.
