Respuesta :

The chance of not throwing the ball to a receiver on either throw is 0.0375, or 3.75 per cent.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

This is event A when he misses the first throw. P(A) = 25%, or 0.25 Because event B takes place only after event A. When he misses on the second throw, event B occurs. P(B/A) = 15% or 0.15

P(A[tex]\cap[/tex]B) = P(A) P(B/A) P(A[tex]\cap[/tex]B)

P(A[tex]\cap[/tex]B) = (0.25)x(0.15) P(ANB)

P(A[tex]\cap[/tex]B) = 0.0375

Therefore the chance of not throwing the ball to a receiver on either throw is 0.0375, or 3.75 per cent.
