Every year Taylor goes to the same carnival, and he attempts to shoot a basketball into a small hoop, hoping that he will win a ten-foot tall teddy bear. If the probability that Taylor does not make a basket is 8/15, what is the probability that Taylor makes exactly one basket in three tries?
Select
A) 45/120  B) 45/113  C) 45/130  D) 35/130  E) 35/113
Probability of basket = 7/15   Probability of no basket = 8/15   Required probability= 3* 7/15*8/15*8/15=45/113   45/113 is the answer .
