The shooter shoots at the target three times. The probability of hitting each shot is 0.75. Draw up the distribution law of a random variable X- the total number of hits
Hit probability with one shot: p = 0.75; the probability of a miss q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.75 = 0.25;
Probability that the shooter missed three times:
P (0) = q * q * q = 0.25 0.25 * 0.25 = 0.01563;
The probability that one of the shots hits the target:
P (1) = p * q * q + q * p * q + q * q * p = 0.75 * 0.25 * 0.25 + 0.25 * 0.75 * 0.25 + 0.25 * 0.25 * 0.75 = 0.1406;
The probability that two shots hit the target.
P (2) = p * p * q + p * q * p + q * p * p = 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.25 + 0.75 * 0.25 * 0.75 + 0.25 * 0.75 * 0.75 = 0.422;
Probability that all shots hit the target:
P (3) = p * p * q = 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 = 0.4219.
