Question

Hockey teams are often confronted with the dilemma of whether or not to pull a goalie at the end of the game when they are down a goal or two. One analyst reports that in 40% of those games in which a goalie was pulled a goal was scored with one empty net, and of those goals scored 25% were scored by the team that pulled the goaltender. Given that the goalie has been pulled by a team, what is the probability that team will score a goal?
