a)probability of making both the shots=0.93*0.93 =0.8649
b)probability of at least one shot =1-P(of no shot)=1-(1-0.93)*(1-0.93)=0.9951
c)probability to miss both shots =(1-0.93)*(1-0.93) =0.0049
d)
will make both shots =0.56*0.56 =0.3136
will make at least one shot =1-(1-0.56)*(1-0.56)=0.8064
will miss both =(1-0.56)*(1-0.56)=0.1936
