Question
The probability that A hits a target is $\frac{1}{3}$ and the probability that B hits it, is $\frac{2}{5}$, What is the probability that the target will be hit, if each one of A and B shoots at the target?
✓

Answer

Given,
Probability that A hits a target $=\frac{1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(A)}=\frac{1}{3}$
Probability that B hits the targer $=\frac{2}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(B)}=\frac{2}{5}$
P (Target will be hit)
= 1 - P (target will not be hit)
= 1 - P (Niether A non B hits the target)
$=1-\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}\cap\overline{\text{B}})$
$=1-\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})$
$=1-[1-\text{P(A)}][1-\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})]$
$=1-\Big[1-\frac{1}{3}\Big]\Big[1-\frac{2}{5}\Big]$
$=1-\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{5}$
$=1-\frac{2}{5}$
$=\frac{2}{5}$
Required probability $=\frac{2}{5}$
