Given : let A , B and C chances of hitting a target is given i.e , P(A) = 4 5 , P(B) = 3 4 and P(C) = 2 3 , To Find: (i) The probability that A , B and C all hit the target. Now ,P(all hitting the target) = P(A ∩ B ∩ C) Hence , The probability that A , B and C all hit the target is 2 5 (ii) B and C hit and A does not hit the target Here, P(B and C hit and not A) = P(B ∩ C ∩ ¯ A ) Hence , the probability that B and C hit and A does not hit the target is 1 10
