The probability that A hits a target is 1/3 and the probability that B hits it, is 2/5. What is the probability that the target will be hit, if each one of A and B shoots at the target?

Given,


Probability that A hits a target is 1/3


P(A)=


The probability that B hits it, is 2/5


P(b)=


P(target will be hit)=1–P(target will not be hit)


=1–P(neither A nor B hit the target)
