please help!!!! Julia enjoys shooting paper balls into the wastebasket across her office. She misses the first shot 50% of the time. When she misses on the first shot, she misses the second shot 20% of the time. What is the probability of missing two shots in a row?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you have to multiply 50% and 20%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Convert the percent into fractions and then multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 1/5 * 1/2 = 1/10 so 10%
