Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of of winning next shot if he scores= 0.5

Probability of missing next shot if he misses = 1/6

a) Probability of scoring 2 shots later if he missed = (1-1/6)^2

=(5/6)^2

=25/36

b) % of successful shots= (1/2+5/6×(1/100))%

=4/3×1/100

=0.013%

Assume that in a particular military exercise involving two units, Red and Blue, thereis a 60 % chance that the Red unit will su
Marysya12 [62]

Answer: a) There are 42% chances that both units will meet their objectives.

b) There are 88% chances that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the Red unit will successfully meet its objectives = 60% = P(R)

Probability that Blue unit will successfully meet its objectives = 70% = P(B)

Probability that only Red unit will be successful = P(only Red) = 18%

As we know that

P(only\ red)=P(R)-P(R\cap B)\\\\0.18=0.60-P(R\cap B)\\\\0.18-0.60=-P(R\cap B)\\\\-0.42=-P(R\cap B)\\\\P(R\cap B)=42\%

Hence, there are 42% chances that both units will meet their objectives.

the probability that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful is given by

P(R\cup B)=P(R)+P(B)-P(R\cap B)\\\\P(R\cup B)=0.60+0.70-0.42\\\\P(R\cup B)=0.88\\\\P(R\cup B)=88\%

Hence, there are 88% chances that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful.
