Best answer

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.
