Question

A basketball player gets 2 free-throw shots when she is fouled by a player on the opposing team. She misses the first shot 40% of the time. When she misses the first shot, she misses the second shot 5% of the time. What is the probability of missing both free-throw shots?

Answer 1

The answer is 2%

Here is how I got it:

40/100 x 5/100 or 0.04 x 0.05

= 0.02

= 2%

Hope this helps
