Question

A marksman fires at a target made up of a central circular disk and two concentric rings. The probabilities of hitting the disk and the rings are 0.35, 0.30 and 0.25, respectively. What is the probability of missing the target?

Answer 1

0.34125

Explanation:

The probability of missing each of the target Is

(1- each target).

( 1-0.35) =0.65

(1-0.30) = 0.70

(1-0.25)= 0.75

Then each of the probability multiplied together

0.65 * 0.70 * 0.75= 0.34125.
