Solution

The probability of Samantha missing her next shot can be calculated by subtracting the probability of her making a shot from 100%.

Given that Samantha makes 65% of all free throws she attempts, the probability of her making a shot is 65%.

Therefore, the probability of her missing a shot is 100% - 65% = 35%.

So, there is a 35% chance that Samantha will miss her next shot.
