Answer 2

probability that he scores a goal both times is
`13.7%`.

Explanation:

It is given that Statistics show that a certain soccer player has a 63% chance of missing the goal each time he shoots.

Therefore, P(X)=0.63.

Thus, the probability of getting success in his shoots will be,

`P(X^(c))=1-P(X)=1-0.63=0.37`

probability that he scores a goal both times is =
`P(X^c){*}P(X^c)`

=
`0.37{*}0.37`

=
`0.137`

=13.7%
