Two aeroplanes I and II bomb a target i...

Two aeroplanes I and II bomb a target in succession. The probabilities of I and II scoring a hit correctly are 0.3 and 0.2, respectively. The second plane will bomb only if the first misses the target. The probability that the target is hit by the second plane is (A) `0.06`                                                     (B) `0.14` (C) `7/22`                                                       (D) `0.7`

To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that the target is hit by the second plane (Plane II). The second plane will only bomb if the first plane (Plane I) misses the target. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the probabilities:** - Probability that Plane I hits the target, \( P(H_1) = 0.3 \) - Probability that Plane II hits the target, \( P(H_2) = 0.2 \) ...
