Question 253808: The probability that Robin Hood hits a target is 5/6. The probability that Little John hits a target is 1/7. If Robin Hood and Little John each shoot one arrow at the target, what is the probability that they both miss Found 3 solutions by stanbon, palanisamy, richwmiller:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability that Robin Hood hits a target is 5/6. The probability that Little John hits a target is 1/7. If Robin Hood and Little John each shoot one arrow at the target, what is the probability that they both miss
----------
P(Robin misses) = 1/6
P(John misses) = 6/7
----------
P(both miss) = (1/6)(6/7) = 1/7

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability that Robin Hood hits a target is 5/6.
The probability that Robin Hood does not hit target = 1-5/6 =1/6
The probability that Little John hits a target is 1/7.
The probability that Little John does not hit target = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7
Robin Hood and Little John each shoot one arrow at the target, what is the probability that they both miss the target = (1/6)*(6/7)
= 1/7
