Question

If the captain has a 3/4 probability of hitting the ship and the pirate has a 1/4 probably what is the probability the pirate hits and the captain misses

Answer 1

9/16

Explanation:

captain has a 3/4 probability of hitting the ship

pirate has a 1/4 probability of hitting the ship

This means he has a 3/4 probability of missing the ship

P (captain hitting and pirate missing) = 3/4*3/4 = 9/16
