Answer 1

C

Explanation:

N/A

Answer 2

Option c

Explanation:

The conditional probability of an event B is the probability that the event will occur given the knowledge that an event A has already occurred. This probability is written P(B|A), probability of B given A.

If events A and B are independent (where event A has no effect on the probability of event B), the conditional probability of event B given event A is simply the probability of event B, that is P(B).

Here A= make the first shot

B = make the second shot

P(B/A) = probability of making second shot given that already made the first shot

Hence answer is

option C
