Question

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?

• A. $0.09$
• B. $0.15$
• C. $0.30$
• D. $0.60$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$0.09$

Explanation for correct answer.

Probability is how likely something is to happen.

It is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.

From the definition of Classical Probability we know that the probability of an event is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes by total number of outcomes.

The probability that his shot will score in a lacrosse game $=0.30$.

So, the probability that he will score on two consecutive shots $=0.30\times 0.30$

$=0.09$

Hence, the correct option is $\left(A\right)$.
