Question

Basketball players John, Vasim, Akash were practising the ball drop in the  basket. The probabilities of success for John, Vasim and Akash are `4 /5`, 0.83 and 58% respectively. Who had the greatest probability of success ?

Answer 1

The probability that the ball is dropped in the basket by John = `4/5`  = 0.80
The probability that the ball is dropped in the basket by Vasim = 0.83
The probability that the ball is dropped in the basket by Akash = 58% = `58/100` = 0.58
0.83 > 0.80 > 0.58
∴ Vasim has the greatest probability of success.
