The probability of hitting a target is .25 Danny makes 3 [#permalink] New post 25 Dec 2007, 15:05
The probability of hitting a target is .25
Danny makes 3 salvos

p = .25
~p = .75

What is the probability that he scores only 1 hit?


Is the answer
(.25) (.75) (.75) = .25(.75)^2
or
.25(.75)^2 * 3C1

.25(.75)^2 * 3C1

.25*.75*.75*3 is your answer
