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.
