Every year Taylor goes to the same carnival, and he attempts to shoot a basketball into a small hoop, hoping that he will win a ten-foot tall teddy bear. If the probability that Taylor does not make a basket is 8/9, what is the probability that Taylor makes exactly one basket in four tries?
Answer/Solution
256/729
Steps/Work
Probability of basket = 1/9
Probability of no basket = 8/9
Required probability= 4* (1*8*8*8/9^4)
=256/729
A is the answer
Probability of no basket = 8/9
Required probability= 4* (1*8*8*8/9^4)
=256/729
A is the answer
