The head of operations for a movie studio wants to determine which of two new scripts they should select for their next major production. She feels that script #1 has a 70% chance of earning $100 million over the long run, but a 30% chance of losing $20 million. If this movie is successful, then a sequel could also be produced, with an 80% chance of earning $50 million, but a 20% chance of losing $10 million. On the other hand, she feels that script #2 has a 60 % chance of earning $120 million, but a 40% chance of losing $30 million. If successful, its sequel would have a 50% chance of earning $80 million and a 50% chance of losing $40 million. As with the first script, if the original movie is a "flop," then no sequel would be produced.
What is the probability that script #1 will be a success, but its sequel will not?
A) 0.8
B) 0.7
C) 0.56
