Answer 2

Concept

The simple definition of probability in mathematics states that the chance that a given event will occur or the ratio of number of favourable outcomes divided by total number of outcomes.

Given

1) Probability that P hit the target is 2/3

2) Probability that Q hit the target is 3/4

Find

a. what is the probability that they both miss the target?

b. If the target is hit, what is the probability that

i. only hunter P hits it?

ii. only one of them hits it?

iii. both hunters hit the target?

Solution

a)  Probability both will miss the target

P(both miss) = P( P bar) * P( Q bar)

= 1/3 * ¼

= 1/12

b)

i) only P hits

= 2/3 * 1/4

= 2/12

= 1/6

ii) Q hits

= 3/4 * 1/3

= 1/4

iii) Both hits

= 2/3 * ¾

= ½
