A hockey player is to take 3 shots on a certain goalie. The probability he will score a goal on his first shot is 0.45. If he scores on his first shot, the chance he will score on his second shot increases by 0.1; if he misses, the chance that he scores on his second shot decreases by 0.1. This pattern continues to on his third shot: If the player scores on his second shot, the probability he will score on his third shot increases by another 0.1; should he not score on his second shot, the probability of scoring on the third shot decreases by another 0.1.
