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?

For two shots Pedro has four outcomes:

1 shot | 2 shot

score | score

score | not score

not score | score

not score | not score

The probability Pedro's shot will score in a lacrosse game is 0.30 and the probability his shot will not score in a lacrosse game is 1-0.30=0.70. So you can count probabilities for all cases:

1. 0.3·0.3=0.09;

2. 0.3·0.7=0.21;

3. 0.7·0.3=0.21;

4. 0.7·0.7=0.49.

In total 0.09+0.21+0.21+0.49=1. The first outcomes is that what you need.

0.09.
