  1. I bet your next question is "What is the Expected Value?"


  2. Trying to remember back to when I learned this, about 100 years ago:

    The answer is one point.  There's a 60% chance of making the first shot--so the odds of one are better than the odds of zero.  The chance of making both shots is .6 x .6 = .36.  So, that's less than the chance of making one point.
