Question

When carlos shoots a basketball, the probability that he will make a basket is 0.4. when brad shoots, the probability of a basket is 0.6. what is the probability that at least one basket is made if carlos and brad take one shot each?

Answer 1

P(Carlos) = 0.4, P(Carlos missing) = 0.6
P(Brad) = 0.6, P(Brad missing) = 0.4

P(at least one) = 1 - P(none) = 1- 0.6*0.4 = 1-0.24 = 0.76
