Question

Statistics show that a certain soccer player has a 63% chance of missing the goal each time he shoots. If this player shoots twice, the exact probability that he scores a goal both times is

Answer 1

"The probability of the player missing the goal when he shoots is around 63 %.

Probability of scoring = 37% = 0.37

Probability of scoring in the first attempt = 0.37

Probability of scoring in the seconds attempt = 0.37

Probability of scoring in the both attempts = 0.37 * 0.37 = 0.137

"

Answer 2

P(missing a goal) = 63%  (Given)

P(scores a goa) = 100 - 63 = 37%

P(Score a goal twice) = 37% x 37%

P(Score a goal twice) = 0.37 x 0.37

P(Score a goal twice) = 0.1369

P(Score a goal twice) = 13.69%

Answer: The probability that he scores a goal twice is 13.69%
