When LeBron James shoots a free throw, he hits with a probability of 0.9 and misses with a probability of 0.1. Assume that the result of his previous free throw (whether a hit or a miss), does not affect the probability with which he hits the current throw, i.e., for any free throw he shoots, he hits with a probability of 0.9 and misses with a probability of 0.1. When he hits a free throw, he makes one point and when he misses a free throw, he makes zero points. Answer the following questions with this information. Let P1 denote a random variable that represents the number of points LeBron James makes when he shoots only one free throw. 1. How many possible values can P1 take? Develop a probability distribution for P1 (Very important: Enter the values of P1 in increasing order as you go down in the table) P1 f(P1) (1 decimal) (1 decimal)
