Question

ou are at the county fair and play a game that involves throwing a baseball at target. You get 3 baseballs, and you win a prize for each target you hit. Your chance of hitting a target with a baseball is 0.74. Assuming each throw is independent of all the others, what is the probability you win at least 1 prize

Answer 1

Answer:

0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Prob (Ball target & prize ) = 0.74

Prob (Ball no target & no prize) = 1 - 0.74 = 0.26

Three Balls : Prob (atleast 1 prize) = 1 - Prob (No ball target & no price)

= 1 - (0.26)^3

= 1 - 0.017576

= 0.982424
