pedro has determined that the probability his shot will score in a lacrosse game is 0.30. what is the probability that he will score on two consecutive shots? 0.09 0.15 0.30 0.60

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify probability formula

For independent events, $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$.

Step2: Define events and probabilities

Let event $A$ be scoring on the first - shot and event $B$ be scoring on the second - shot. $P(A) = P(B)=0.30$.

Step3: Calculate the probability of both events

$P(A\cap B)=0.30\times0.30 = 0.09$.

Answer:

0.09
