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

Okay. An obtuse triangle is any triangle that has 1 angle that measures more than 90°. As we can see, angle QRS measures 76° and angle PRQ measures 104°. 104 > 90. Triangle PQR is a closed figure, and a triangle measures 180° total. There can only be 1 obtuse angle in any triangle. PRQ is an obtuse angle. Therefore, triangle PQR is an obtuse triangle.
