If his ship hasn't already been hit, Captain William has probability \dfrac{1}{3} 3 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction of hitting the pirate ship. If his ship has been hit, Captain William will always miss. If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Emily has probability \dfrac{1}{7} 7 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 7, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Emily will always miss.
