Required probability = Probability that Player misses consecutively all three free throws
We are given,
Probability that player makes a single free throw = 92% = 0.92
Complement of the above probability will be :
Probability that player does not make(misses) a single free throw = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08
Probability that Player misses consecutively all three free throws =
= ( Probability that player does not make(misses) a single free throw )3
= ( 0.08)3 = 0.0005

Suppose a basketball player is an excellent free throw (shots awarded when a player is fouled) shooter and makes 80% of his free throws (or he has and 80% chance of making a single free throw). Assume that free throw shots are independent of one another. Suppose this player gets to shoot four free throws. Find the probability that he makes four consecutive free throws.
