Shaqquille's expected value is 0.56 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situations:

1) he makes 1st shot + he makes 2nd shot

P(A) = 0.4 · 0.4 = 0.16  ( 16 % )

2) he makes 1 st shot + he misses 2nd shot

P(B) = 0.4 · 0.6 = 0.24   ( 24 % )

3) he misses 1st shot and he has no more attempts

P (C) = 0.6 ( 60 %)

0.16 · 2 + 0.24 · 1 + 0.6 · 0 = 0.32 + 0.34 = 0.56

The expected value is 0.56 points.
