Question

Two hunters aim at a target, the probability that the first will hit it is 1/7 while the probability that the second will hit it is 3/5 What is the probability that both hunters will hit the target?

A) 1/12
B) 3/35
C) 1/35
D) 3/7

Answer 1

The probability that both hunters will hit the target is 3/35.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that both hunters will hit the target, you need to multiply their individual probabilities of hitting the target.

Probability of first hunter hitting the target = 1/7

Probability of second hunter hitting the target = 3/5

To find the probability that both hunters hit the target, we multiply 1/7 by 3/5:

Probability of both hunters hitting the target = (1/7) * (3/5) = 3/35
