Question 8 • Geometry

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?

Answer
A
0 point 1 5
B
0 point 6 0
C
0 point 3 0
D
0 point 0 9

Explanation

For two consecutive shots to score, Pedro must score on the first shot and the second shot. Assuming the shots are independent, multiply the probability for each: 0.30 × 0.30 = 0.09. The probability is 0.09, or 0 point 0 9.
