Question 2

A basketball player has an 80% chance of making the first free-throw he shoots. If he makes the first free-throw shot, then he has a 90% chance of making the second free-throw he shoots. If he misses the first free-throw shot, then he only has a 70% chance of making the second free-throw he shoots. Suppose this player has been awarded two free-throw shots. Are the events, A - the player makes the first shot, and B - the player makes the second shot, independent events?
