• Common goalie, among other things, renders that assumption invalid. Understanding that, and its consequences, is much more informative than a lame, pretend "real world" probability calculation. – Mark L. Stone Jun 26 '18 at 17:32

• -1 because I believe this question should disappear (not much useful to people other than the original questioner). But to to still aid the questioner: check Bernoulli trials. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial – Martijn Weterings Jun 29 '18 at 12:42
