Answer: \frac{4}{35}

Step-by-step explanation: The probability of Captain Ishaan hitting the pirate's ship is:

P(A) = \frac{4}{5}

The probability of the pirate hitting Captain's ship is:

P(B) = \frac{1}{7}

So, the probability of both hitting each other is a probability of A and B occuring, which means:

P(A) . P(B) = \frac{4}{5} . \frac{1}{7}

P(A) . P(B) = \frac{4}{35}

The probability of both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ship is

\frac{4}{35} or 11.43%

For the given set, first calculate the number of subsets for the set, then calculate the number of proper subsets. {18, 8, 14, 9
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Subsets of the given set = 32

Proper subset of the given set = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given set is {18, 8, 14, 9, 6} having 5 elements.

We know number of subsets of a set having n elements are represented by

2^{n}

where n is the number of elements in the set.

Therefore, subsets of the given set = 2^{5}

= 32

Since original set itself is a subset of its own, is not a proper subset.

Therefore, proper subset of a set = 2^{n}-1

= 2^{5}-1

= 32 - 1

= 31
