A football quarterback has two more chances to throw a touchdown before his team is forced to punt the ball. He misses the receiver on the first throw 25% of the time. When his first throw is incomplete, he misses the receiver on the second throw 15% of the time. What is the probability of not throwing the ball to a receiver on either throw?
