Na high school basketball game, a player on the home team makes two free throws. one student asks the student next to her what he thinks the probability of hitting two free throws in a row is. the student replies, "the probability of him making a free throw is probably about .6, so hitting two free throws is probably about 1.2." why can this immediately be dismissed as incorrect?
a. the final number, 1.2, is a fraction, which can never represent a probability.
b. the probability of making a free throw can never be .6.
c. the probability of an event happening twice in a row can never be equal.
