In the 2012-2013 NBA season (82 games) Kevin Durant made 90.5% of his free throw attempts. He attempted a total of 792 free throws. How many did he make?
Homework Answers
made free throw attempts = 90.5%
a total of free throws attempted= 792
total number he made = 90.5% of 792
= (90.5/100 ) * 792
= 716.76

In the 1980-’81 NBA season, Calvin Murphy made 95.8% of his free throw attempts. Assume that free throw attempts are independent of one another. Let X denote the number of successful free throws out of 20 attempts. (a) What type of random variable is X? (b) What is the probability that Murphy will make at least 18 out of 20 free throws? (c) Calculate the expected number of free throws made out of 20, E[X]. (d) Calculate the variance Var[X].

The NBA season free throw record holder is Jose Calderon who made 151 of 154 (98.05%) free throws in his 2008-2009 season with the Toronto Raptors. If his free throws during the season can be considered independent, what is the minimum number of free throws he would be required to take in order for you to be at least 80% certain that he will miss one or more free throws?

Steph Curry is an NBA basketball player for the Golden State Warriors. His 2016-2017 season was not up to his previous standards, and analysts talked about it in the last month of the season. In his previous seasons, he made 1593 of 3590 three pointers attempts in 495 games, not couting playoffs. That season, he had attempted 633 threepointers with about a month to play - that number was after the 66th game (he only played in 64 of those)....

A starting player for a major college basketball team made only 5% of her free throws last season. During the off season she worked on developing a softer shot in the hope of improving her free throw accuracy. In the first eight games this season she made 22 out of the 42 free throws she attempted. Did she improve her accuracy?

Leroy, a starting player for a major college basketball team, made only 27.5% of his free throws last season. During the summer he worked on developing a softer shot in the hope of improving his free-throw accuracy. In the first eight games of this season, Leroy made 29 free throws in 40 attempts. Let p be his probability of making each free throw that he shoots this season. (a) State the null hypothesis H. that Leroy's free-throw probability has remained...

Stephen Curry has made approximately 44% of the 3 pointers he has attempted in his NBA career. Suppose Curry attempts 30 3-point goals in the next 4 games. What is the mean number and standard deviation of the number of shots he will make? What is the probability Curry makes exactly 16 of these 30 shots?

Suppose you have a friend on the school basketball team but, unfortunately, he is not a good free throw shooter. Over the course of his career, he has only made 40% of his shots. Otherwise, he is a good player and gets fouled a lot so he shoots 10 free throws a game, on average. In the biggest game of the season, he does very well and makes 6 out of 10 free throw attempts. ? A. Assuming that each...
