PLEASE PLEASE HELP

An archer makes two attempts to hit a target, and the probability that he hits the target on any one attempt is 1/7.
What is the probability that the archer will miss the target on both attempts?
A. 1/49
B. 48/49
C. 6/7
D. 36/49

Answer 1

The answer would be D.

Explanation:

If there is a 1/7 chance that the archer will hit it, there is a 6/7 chance he/she wont. 6/7 times 6/7 is equal to 36/49, getting you your answer of D. I hope this helps! :)
