The captain has probability 1/2 of hitting the pirate ship. The pirate only has one good eye, so he hits the Captain's ship with probability 1/5. If both fire their cannons at the same time, what is the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships?

    The probability would be 1/10.

    These would be independent events, so we can simply multiply their probabilities:

    1/2 (1/5) = 1/10.
