Answer:
A darts player practices throwing a dart at the bull’s eye on a dart board. Her probability of hitting the bull’s eye for each throw is 0.2.
(a) Find the probability that she is successful for the first time on the third throw:
The number F of unsuccessful throws till the first bull’s eye follows a geometric
distribution with probability of success q = 0.2 and probability of failure p = 0.8.
If the first bull’s eye is on the third throw, there must be two failures:
P(F = 2) = p
2
q = (0.8)2
(0.2) = 0.128.
(b) Find the probability that she will have at least three failures before her first
success.
We want the probability of F ≥ 3. This can be found in two ways:
P(F ≥ 3) = P(F = 3) + P(F = 4) + P(F = 5) + P(F = 6) + . . .
= p

q + p

=
(0.8)3
(0.2)
1 − 0.8
= (0.8)3 = 0.512.
Alternatively,
P(F ≥ 3) = 1 − (P(F = 0) + P(F = 1) + P(F = 2))
= 1 − (q + pq + p
2
q)
= 1 − (0.2)(1 + 0.8 + (0.8)2
)
= 1 − 0.488 = 0.512.
(c) How many throws on average will fail before she hits bull’s eye?
Since p = 0.8 and q = 0.2, the expected number of failures before the first success
is
E[F] = p
q
=
0.8
0.2
= 4.

Well, here's one way to do it at least...
<span>For reference, let 'a' be the side opposite A (segment BC), 'b' be the side opposite B (segment AC) and 'c' be the side opposite C (segment AB). </span>
<span>Let P=(4,0) be the projection of B onto the x-axis. </span>
<span>Let Q=(-3,0) be the projection of C onto the x-axis. </span>
<span>Look at the angle QAC. It has tangent = 5/4 (do you see why?), so angle A is atan(5/4). </span>
<span>Likewise, angle PAB has tangent = 6/3 = 2, so angle PAB is atan(2). </span>
<span>Angle A, then, is 180 - atan(5/4) - atan(2) = 65.225. One down, two to go. </span>
<span>||b|| = sqrt(41) (use Pythagorian Theorum on triangle AQC) </span>
<span>||c|| = sqrt(45) (use Pythagorian Theorum on triangle APB) </span>
<span>Using the Law of Cosines... </span>
<span>||a||^2 = ||b||^2 + ||c||^2 - 2(||b||)(||c||)cos(A) </span>
<span>||a||^2 = 41 + 45 - 2(sqrt(41))(sqrt(45))(.4191) </span>
<span>||a||^2 = 86 - 36 </span>
<span>||a||^2 = 50 </span>
<span>||a|| = sqrt(50) </span>
<span>Now apply the Law of Sines to find the other two angles. </span>
<span>||b|| / sin(B) = ||a|| / sin(A) </span>
<span>sqrt(41) / sin(B) = sqrt(50) / .9080 </span>
<span>(.9080)sqrt(41) / sqrt(50) = sin(B) </span>
<span>.8222 = sin(B) </span>
<span>asin(.8222) = B </span>
<span>55.305 = B </span>
<span>Two down, one to go... </span>
<span>||c|| / sin(C) = ||a|| / sin(A) </span>
<span>sqrt(45) / sin(C) = sqrt(50) / .9080 </span>
<span>(.9080)sqrt(45) / sqrt(50) = sin(C) </span>
<span>.8614 = sin(C) </span>
<span>asin(.8614) = C </span>
<span>59.470 = C </span>
<span>So your three angles are: </span>
<span>A = 65.225 </span>
<span>B = 55.305 </span>
<span>C = 59.470 </span>
