Chapter 11.9, Problem 24E

To determine

To find the probability that the goalie will not make the next save

Answer to Problem 24E

The probability that the goalie will not make the next save is 0.05

Explanation of Solution

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Given:}\\ \text{P(Save) = 95\%= 0}\text{.95}\\ \text{Lets write equation of complement of the given probability:}\\ \text{not Save = 1}-P(\text{Save)}\\ \text{Substitute values:}\\ \text{not Save = 1}-0.95\\ \text{Evaluate:}\\ \text{not Save=0}\text{.05=5\%}\end{array}$

Hence 0.05 is the probability that the goalie will not make the next save
