During the NCAA basketball tournament season, affectionately called March Madness, part of one team's strategy is to foul their opponent if his free-throw shooting percentage is lower than his two-point field goal percentage. Amos's free-throw shooting percentage is lower and is only 52.5%. After being fouled he gets two free-throw shots each worth one point. Calculate the expected value of the number of points Amos makes when he shoots two free-throw shots.
