Two buddies, Zeke and Bubba, plan a squirrel-hunting trip. Bubba is a better shot than Zeke. How much better? Bubba is 2-times a better shot than Zeke. Upon seeing a squirrel, Bubba and Zeke raise their rifles and simultaneously shoot at the squirrel. Assume that Bubba shooting the squirrel and Zeke shooting the squirrel are independent events, and that the probability of Zeke shooting the squirrel is 0.32. Part (a) What is the probability that the squirrel will be shot? P(squirrel shot) = (use four decimals) Part (b) What is the probability that both Zeke and Bubba will miss the squirrel? P(both miss) = (use four decimals) Part (c) If the squirrel is shot, what is the probability that Zeke shot the squirrel? P(Zeke shot the squirrel) (use four decimals)
