Question

Pls help!!!!The probability of hitting a target on a single trial is 40%,Find the probability of hitting the same target 5/8 times in a shooting contest.

Answer 1

Probability hit=40%=4/10
probability no hit=1-p (hit)=1-4/10=6/10
probability= p(hit)+p(hit)+p(hit)+p(hit)+p(hit)+p (no hit)+p (no hit)+p (no hit)
probability=4/10×4/10×4/10×4/10×4/10×6/10×6/10×6/10
=0.0022
( I think but I'm not 100% sure)
