Question 104171
making 89% of his shots (USA Today, January 22, 2004). Assume that late in a basketball game, Reggie Miller is fouled and is awarded two shots. 
a. What is the Probability that he will make both shots?
Ans:  0.89^2 = 0.7921
------------------------------------
b. What is the probability he will make at least one shot?
P(make at least one) = 1 - Prob(misses both) = 1-0.121 = 0.9879 
c. What is the probability he will miss both shots?
Ans: (0.11)^2 = 0.121 
--------------------
Comment: I worked part "c" before part "b" because b's answer is 
easier to calculate if the answer to "c"is known.
