Every time Mr. Cold born throws a ball of paper in the garbage can, the probability the ball goes in the cans is 3/4. What is the probability he misses 2 times in a row?

Please show all work. Please help I don't understand probability

prob of miss = 1/4

so prob( miss , then miss) = (1/4)(1/4) = 1/16

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

(1-3/4)(1-3/4) = ?

To find the probability that Mr. Cold born misses the garbage can 2 times in a row, we need to multiply the probabilities of each individual miss.

The probability of missing the garbage can on any given throw is 1 - 3/4 = 1/4, because the probability of hitting the garbage can is given as 3/4.

So, the probability of missing the garbage can twice in a row would be (1/4) * (1/4) = 1/16.

In general, to find the probability of multiple independent events occurring, you multiply the probabilities of each event together. Here, the events are two instances of missing the garbage can, and since they are independent (one does not affect the other), we can multiply their probabilities to get the overall probability.

Therefore, the probability that Mr. Cold born misses the garbage can two times in a row is 1/16.
