I am going to take my chances and answer this in the morning if nobody else does. I have some bad phys. ed. memories that I don't want to become nightmares.π Good night everyone.
The chances of Jan scoring but not Chris after they both throw is %36.9

Forgot about the time. Someone else already gave the correct answer of 36.9% but I'll show it my way.
Let X = P(A and Not B) be the probability of Jan and not Chris
Let P(A) = Probability of Jan = 0.45
Let P(B) = Probability of Chris = 0.18
Hmmm... I never thought of solving it this way. Thanks for showing this other method.

Answer for Day 6 Math Problem
36.9% π―
The problem is basically the chance of @jancharlest shooting the ball multiplied by the chance of @chrisrice not shooting the ball. The solution is 82% multiplied by 45% (or 0.45), whose result is 36.9%.

I don't know how the percent (%) symbol is written in @ahmadmangazap's country, but his answer is clear.

Did I write it %36.9 again?... It seems I did.
It's written like that in Arabic. (The symbol % is after the numbers in a RTL language.) Since I mentally read the numbers in Arabic even when I'm thinking in English I tend to mix this up.
