A basketball player gets 2 free-throw shots when she is fouled by a player on the opposing team. She misses the first shot 40% of the time. When she misses the first shot, she misses the second shot 5% of the time. What is the probability of missing both free-throw shots?
I'll use P(A) • P(B) = P(A ∩ B)
@Vocaloid
@Hero I need help I don't know what to do next I will use P(A) • P(B) = P(A ∩ B) to start but what do I do next
@lowkey @Narad
P(A) • P(B) = P(A ∩ B)
its blank
oh
The answer to your question is 40/100 * 5/100 0.4 * 0.05 = 0.02 = 2%
I need to use P(A) • P(B) = P(A ∩ B)
help me use it, it should be easy because now we know the answer
Oh it's just p(0.4) times p(0.05)=P(0.4*0.05)
what does ∩ mean
You got sass.
p(0.4) times p(0.05)=P(0.4*0.05)
ya
p(0.4) times p(0.05)=P(0.4*0.05) p(0.2)
is that whats next
p(0.4) times p(0.05)=P(0.4*0.05) and then p(0.2) or do we do another step before we get 0.2
thats ok
thank you so much
