Question

⚠HELP!!!

An archer makes two attempts to hit a target, and the probability that he hits the target on any one attempt is 1/3 .

What is the probability that the archer will miss the target on both attempts?

2/3

8/9

4/9

1/9

Answer 1

This question is misleading because it says he only takes two attempts but there’s somehow a 1/3 probability he will hit the target on at least one attempt. However, if there’s a 1/3 chance he’ll make it, that would mean there is a 2/3 chance he would miss.
