The probability of hitting a target with at least one bullet with 4 independent shots is 0.59

The probability of hitting a target with at least one bullet with 4 independent shots is 0.59. What is the probability of hitting a target with one shot?

1) In order to solve this problem, we need to use the properties of probability:

2) denote the probability of hitting in one shot – x. According to the condition, it is said that if there are 4 independent shots, then the probability will become 0.59, otherwise it can be written like this:

3) x = 0.59. If we take the root 0.59 twice, we get our x.

4) √0.59 = 0.76. √0.76 = 0.88.

Answer: 0.88
