A sharpshooter can hit the target with a probability p=0.75. a) What is the probability that out of 10 shots she misses them all? b) Find the probability that out of 10 shots she gets the target at least once.

Answer:

(a) [tex]p(x= 0)=9.536\times 10^{-7}[/tex]   (b) p(x> 1)=0.999

Explanation:

Probability that sharpshooter hit the target [tex]p=0.75=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

We know that [tex]p+q=1[/tex]

So [tex]q=1-p=1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

(a) The probability that she misses all the shots

Using binomial theorem [tex]^{n}C_{r}p^rq^{n-r}[/tex]

[tex]=^{10}C_{0}p^0\frac{1}{4}^{10}[/tex]

[tex]=9.536\times 10^{-7}[/tex]

(B) Probability that at least one shot hit the target

[tex]p(x> 1)=1-p(x=0)[/tex]

[tex]p(x> 1)=1-^{10}C_{0}p^0\frac{1}{4}^{10}[/tex]

[tex]p(x> 1)=0.999[/tex]
