"Three people A,B and C practice shooting at a target .The probability that A ,B and C hit the target is 0.9,0.8,0.6 , respectively .Now select any one of them at random ,what is the probability that the person selected hits the target ?"
I found this question to be a little bit confusing ,would that imply calculating the probability that they hit the target given that they are A +the probability that they hit the target given that they are B+ the probability that they hit the target given that they are C?

If the target is hit then either A, B, or C will have done the deed, So that is a partition of the space.
[imath]\mathcal{P}(A)\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=(0.9)\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)[/imath] is the probability that [imath]A[/imath] is chosen, shoots, and hits the target.
