The probability that a marksman will hit a target is given as 1/5. Then the probability that at least one hit in 10 shots is |
$1-\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{10}$ $\frac{1}{5^{10}}$ $1-\frac{1}{5^{10}}$ none of these |
$1-\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{10}$ |
Let X denote the number of shots in which a marksman hit a target in 10 shots. Then, the probability of r hits is given by $P(X=r)={^{10}C}_r\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{r}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{10-r}$ ∴ Required probability $=P(X ≥ 1)= 1 - P(X=0)$ $= 1- {^{10}C}_0\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{0}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{10}=1- \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{10}$ |
