Answer:
\(\bf\textbf{Probability that Julia misses two shots in a row = }\frac{1}{10}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Julia enjoys shooting paper balls into the wastebasket across her office.
She misses the first shot 50% of the time.
\(\text{Probability that Julia misses the first shot = }\frac{1}{2}\)
When she misses on the first shot, she misses the second shot 20% of the time.
\(\text{Probability that Julia misses the second shot = }\frac{1}{5}\)
Now, we need to find the probability of missing two shots in a row
\(\text{Probability that Julia misses two shots in a row = }\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{5}\)
\(\bf\textbf{Probability that Julia misses two shots in a row = }\frac{1}{10}\)
