I am just looking for help on getting started, I'm not sure what i need to do?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
each shot is an independent event ___ the probability for multiple shots is the PRODUCT of the individual probabilities\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the probability of missing is ___ one minus the probability of making\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1st player
\n" ); document.write( "___ miss 1st ___ 1 - .8857
\n" ); document.write( "___ make 1st, miss 2nd ___ (.8857)(1 - .8857)
\n" ); document.write( "___ make 1st, make 2nd ___ (.8857)(.8857)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the other players follow the same pattern (with different numbers)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
