| Suppose that a torpedo has a probability of 1/3 of sinking a ship,1/3 of damaging it and 1/3 of missing it altogether,and also two damaging shots will sink the ship.What is the probability that 4 torpedoes will sink the ship ? (3 marks) |

| in which paper of franks is this question is the prob of damaging =1/3 prob of sinking=1/3....................1 2 damaging shots sink the ship so prob of sinking a ship by two damaging shots = 1/3 * 1/3 =1/9...................2 adding 1 n 2 total prob of damaging in 2 shots= 1/3 + 1/9 =4/9 therefore prob of damaging in 4 shots = 4/9 + 4/9 = 8/9 im not sure

| i get the answer as 50/81..!! suppose we take the probability of not sinking the ship and we subtract it from 1, we get the probability of sinking the ship..
the conditions when she ship does not sink is when 1)all four misses[very low prob 1/81] 2)one damaging shot and three misses [1/3 + 1/27]
the doubt is for case 2 do we have to do the permutation combiination too..?? if so..how..?
i did not do it and by add prob 1 and prob 2 i get 50/81
anything wrong in my assunption..? |

| i suggest u to try by Tree method....this method is too confusing for me...and yes for damage and misses...u have to use P n C....thatz y Tree method is easier... |

| scratch my last post...!!! I got the answer... 76/81 it is..
those who did it..confirm if this is how u got it..!
all four misses 1/81
one hit and three misses 4/81
total prob 5/81
therefore prob of sinking is 1- 5/81 = 76/81
y0..!! |
