Answers:

  • (a) 0.64
  • (b) 0.04

============================================

Explanation:

Assuming each kick is independent of any other, this means the probability of making two field goals in a row is 0.8*0.8 = 0.64

The probability of missing any single field goal is 1-0.8 = 0.2; so the probability of missing two in a row is 0.2*0.2 = 0.04

----------------

Extra info:

Adding up those results shows that 0.64+0.04 = 0.68 is the probability of either making 2 in a row or missing 2 in a row; that leaves 1-0.68 = 0.32 to represent the probability of making exactly one field goal in either order.

Or you could note that 0.8*0.2+0.2*0.8 = 0.32

The surface area of a triangular pyramid is 1836 ft2.
Archy [21]
A triangular pyramid has 4 triangular faces. If all 4 have the same area, then one of them has area 1/4 of the surface area, 1836. That gives 459 sq ft as the area of one of the triangular faces.
