$P (x = 0) = 0.09$ $P(x = 0) = 0.09$

Explanation:

He has to miss in all the three attempts.

1st attempt
Probability of hitting the target : $P_{1} = 0.7$ $P_1= 0.7$
Probability of not hitting the target : $p_{1} = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3$ $p_1 = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3$

2nd attempt
Probability of hitting the target : $P_{2} = 0.5$ $P_2= 0.5$
Probability of not hitting the target : $p_{2} = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5$ $p_2 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5$

3rd attempt
Probability of hitting the target : $P_{3} = 0.4$ $P_3 = 0.4$
Probability of not hitting the target: $p_{3} = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6$ $p_3 = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6$

It is a compound event

$P (x = 0) = p_{1} \times p_{2} \times p_{3} = 0.3 \times 0.5 \times 0.6 = 0.09$ $P(x = 0) = p_1 xx p_2 xx p_3 = 0.3 xx 0.5 xx 0.6 = 0.09$
