Question

Grace is practicing free throws. The probability that she will shoot the ball into the basket is 5/9 . What is the probability that Grace will make both of her next two shots?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a 25/81 probability that Grace will make both of her next two shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of her making the first shot is 5/9.

The probability of her also making the shot after that is still 5/9, that does not change.

To find the probability of both of those events, multiply the fractions.

5/9 * 5/9

25/81.
