B
A histogram titled free throws has x = number of successful free throws on the x-axis, and probability on the y-axis. 0, 0.002; 1, 0.008; 2, 0.04; 3, 0.12; 4, 0.23; 5, 0.28; 6, 0.21; 7, 0.09; 8, 0.02.
C
A histogram titled free throws has x = number of successful free throws on the x-axis, and probability on the y-axis. 0, 0.26; 1, 0.14; 2, 0.06; 3, 0.03; 4, 0.02; 5, 0.03; 6, 0.06; 7, 0.14; 8, 0.26.
D
