A football quarterback has 2 more chances to throw a touchdown before his team is forced to punt the ball. He misses the receiver on the first throw 40% of the time. When his first throw is incomplete, he misses the receiver on the second throw 5% of the time. What is the probability of not throwing the ball to a receiver on the second try given he missed on the first try?
