Yes, a 70% free throw shooter has a 9% [30% X 30%] chance of missing two out of two free throws, a 42% chance of making exactly one free throw [30% X 70% for miss-the-first/make-the-second, and 70% X 30% for make-the-first/miss-the-second], a 49% [70% X 70%] chance of making two out of two free throws, and a 91% [42% + 49%] chance of making at least one  of two free throws.

So ...

Please explain what you mean by "the same logic probably holds for free throws."
