QuestionMatt and Thomas each take a penalty The probability that Matt scores is 0.6 The probability that Thomas scores is 0.7 (a) Find the probability of both boys missing

Studdy Solution
Calculate the probability of both Matt and Thomas missing their penalties, using the fact that the events are independent.
$P(\text{both miss}) = P(M_{\text{miss}}) \times P(T_{\text{miss}}) = 0.4 \times 0.3 = 0.12$
Solution: The probability that both boys miss their penalties is $0.12$.
