# Three shooters

Three shooters shoot, each one time, on the same target. The first hit the target with a probability of 0.7; second with a probability of 0.8 and a third with a probability of 0.9. What is the probability to hit the target:

a) just once
b) at least once
c) at least twice

Result

a =  0.092
b =  0.994
c =  0.902

#### Solution:

$p_{ 1 } = 0.7 \ \\ p_{ 2 } = 0.8 \ \\ p_{ 3 } = 0.9 \ \\ \ \\ n_{ 1 } = 1-p_{ 1 } = 1-0.7 = \dfrac{ 3 }{ 10 } = 0.3 \ \\ n_{ 2 } = 1-p_{ 2 } = 1-0.8 = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 5 } = 0.2 \ \\ n_{ 3 } = 1-p_{ 3 } = 1-0.9 = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 10 } = 0.1 \ \\ \ \\ a = p_{ 1 } \cdot \ n_{ 2 } \cdot \ n_{ 3 }+n_{ 1 } \cdot \ p_{ 2 } \cdot \ n_{ 3 }+n_{ 1 } \cdot \ n_{ 2 } \cdot \ p_{ 3 } = 0.7 \cdot \ 0.2 \cdot \ 0.1+0.3 \cdot \ 0.8 \cdot \ 0.1+0.3 \cdot \ 0.2 \cdot \ 0.9 = \dfrac{ 23 }{ 250 } = 0.092$
$b_{ 1 } = p_{ 1 } \cdot \ p_{ 2 } \cdot \ n_{ 3 }+n_{ 1 } \cdot \ p_{ 2 } \cdot \ p_{ 3 }+p_{ 1 } \cdot \ n_{ 2 } \cdot \ p_{ 3 } = 0.7 \cdot \ 0.8 \cdot \ 0.1+0.3 \cdot \ 0.8 \cdot \ 0.9+0.7 \cdot \ 0.2 \cdot \ 0.9 = \dfrac{ 199 }{ 500 } = 0.398 \ \\ b_{ 2 } = p_{ 1 } \cdot \ p_{ 2 } \cdot \ p_{ 3 } = 0.7 \cdot \ 0.8 \cdot \ 0.9 = \dfrac{ 63 }{ 125 } = 0.504 \ \\ \ \\ b = a+b_{ 1 }+b_{ 2 } = 0.092+0.398+0.504 = \dfrac{ 497 }{ 500 } = 0.994$
$c = b_{ 1 }+b_{ 2 } = 0.398+0.504 = \dfrac{ 451 }{ 500 } = 0.902$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
