Question

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

The probability that he will score 1 point is 85.56%

Explanation:

Mat will make 2 shots, and he has to score 1.

So, we are looking for the probability of score in the first shot or in the second.

Both probabilities are 62%

P(1 or 2) = P(1) + P(2) - P(1 AND 2)

P(1 AND 2)= P(1) x P(2)= 0.62 x 0.62=0.3844

P(1 or 2) = 0.62 + 0.62 -0.3844

P(1 or 2) = 0.8556‬
