Two aeroplanes I and II bomb a target in succession. The probabilities of I and II scoring a hit correctly are 0.3 and 0.2, respectively. The second plane will bomb only if the first misses the target. The probability that the target is hit by the second plane is
0.2
0.7
0.06
0.14
As we learnt in
Odds in favour and Against an event -
Let S be the sample space and E be an event then odd in favour of E.
- wherein
and for odd against E
Complementary events -
Let S be the sample space for a random experiment and let E be the event then complement of event E is
- wherein
where E' contains those element which E does not contain.
Probability that first plane misses = 1- Probability the 1st plane hits
Probability that 2nd plane hits =
