Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Roll two fair dice, when a 1 or 2 is rolled for both dice simultaneously it is recorded as both foul shots being made. This process is repeated for 50 trials.
The probability of a 1 or 2 from a roll of a die is
2
6
or
1
3
which equals the probability of the player making a single foul shot. Therefore, the compound event of two foul shots being made is equal to a 1 or 2 being rolled on both dice simultaneously, (
1
3
)(
1
3
) =
1
9
.
