Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP 25 PONITS!

A football quarterback has 2 more chances to throw a touchdown before his team is forced to punt the ball. He misses the receiver on the first throw 30% of the time. When his first throw is incomplete, he misses the receiver on the second throw 10% of the time.
What is the probability of not throwing the ball to a receiver on either throw?

Answer 1

Probability of missing the first one is 0.3
Probability of missing the second is 0.1
Multiply the two probabilities to find your answer

Answer 2

The probability of both occurring can be found by multiplying all individual probabilities so the answer is p=.03
