Question

Pedro has determined that the probability his shot will score in a lacrosse game is 0.30. What is the probability that he will score on two consecutive shots?

Answer 1

the correct answer is 0.09

Answer 2

The probability that he will score on two consecutive shot = 0.09

Explanation:

Probability that Pedro's shot will score in a lacrosse game = 0.30

Number of sots made by Pedro = 2

We need to find the probability that he will score on two consecutive shots.

Since, Probability that Pedro's first shot will score in a lacrosse game = 0.30

So, Probability that Pedro's second shot will score in a lacrosse game = 0.30

Thus, Probability that Pedro's will score on two consecutive shots = 0.30 × 0.30 = 0.09

Therefore, The probability that he will score on two consecutive shot = 0.09
