Jenny is a 60% free-throw shooter. She gets to shoot a second free throw if and only if she makes her first shot. She can score

0 points (if she misses her first shot), 1 point (she makes her first but misses her second), or 2 points (she makes both shots).
Suppose Jenny gains confidence after making her first free throw and the probability of her making the second free throw goes up to 70%. Now, what number of points is Jenny most likely to make when she shoots a one-and-one?
