Answer:

[tex]Probability = 0.35[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability of success free throw = 90%

Number of throw = 10

Required

Determine the probability of 10 consecutive free throws

Let p represents the given probability

[tex]p = 90\%[/tex]

Convert to decimal

[tex]p = 0.9[/tex]

Let n represents the number of throw

[tex]n = 10[/tex]

Provided that each throw is independent;

The probability of n consecutive free throw is

[tex]p^n[/tex]

Substitute 0.9 for p and 10 for n

[tex]Probability = 0.9^{10}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.3486784401[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.35[/tex] (Approximated)
