Question

The quarterback on a football team completes 60% of his passes. He attempts three passes (assumed to be independent) in a given quarter.

What is the probability that he will complete all three?
What is the probability that he will complete less than 3 passes?

Answer 1

all three is the easiest
\(60\%=.6\) so if they are independent the probability she gets three in a row is
\[(.6)^3\]

Answer 2

calculator would help to compute this, but it is not hard,\(6^3=216\) so \(.6^3=0.216\)

Answer 3

you got the next one? there is a standard gimmick that makes it easy

Answer 4

is it o.784?

Answer 5

0.784

Answer 6
