Question

A and B are two participants in a shooting competition. A
can hit the target 3 times in 6 shots B can hit the target 2 times in 6 shots respectively.
When both A and B aim the targets, what is the probability that both of them will hit their target.
(B)
5/6
(A) 1/3
(C) 1/6
(D)
3/4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability that A hits target

P(A) = 3/6 = 1/2

Probability that B hits target

P(B) = 2/6 = 1/3

So probability both hit target

= P(A) × P(B) = 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6
