The probability that Robin hits the target is 0.6. The probability that John hits the target is 0.3. The probability that Robin hits the target and John does NOT hit the target is?
What is the prob that John will NOT hit the target ?
99.7?
No, 1 - .3 = .7
so the prob that Robin hits AND John will miss = (.6)(.7) = .42
To find the probability that Robin hits the target and John does NOT hit the target, we can multiply the individual probabilities.
The probability that Robin hits the target is 0.6, and the probability that John does NOT hit the target is 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 (since the complement of hitting the target is not hitting the target).
So, the probability that Robin hits the target and John does NOT hit the target is 0.6 * 0.7 = 0.42.
