Page 673, Problem 24

Answer 1

Probability that the goalie with save is 95% = 0.95

Since all events equal 1

Calculate the probability that the goalie will not make the next save.

1-.95=.05 or 5%

With the event being 1 and the chance that she will block it 95%, also known as .95, the remainder would be .5, also known as 5%.
