Ok, I'm looking for a PERCENTAGE for each of the numbers listed....8? 9? 10? or 7 or less? Sorry I wasn't specific enough, I didn't think I'd get answers like "likely" and "not likely."

Odds of 8 free throws is .816^8 * .184^2 * 10!/8!2! = .299
Odds of 9 free throws is .816^9 * .184 * 10!/9! = .295
Odds of 10 free throws is .816^10 = .131
Odds of 7 or less is 1 - (.299+.295+.131) = 1-.725 = .275

using a little common sense
8 free throws - highly likely
9 free throws - somewhat likely
10 free throws - not likely
7 free throws - somewhat likely
