  1. The probability that a marksman will hit a target is given as 1/5. Then his probability of at least one hit in 10 shots, is ?
    1. 1 - (4/5)10
    2. 1/ (5)10
    3. 1 - 1/ (5)10
    4. (4/5)10
Correct Option: A

∵ p = 1/5
∴ q = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5
The probability that none will hit in 10 shots = (4/5)10
∴ Reqd. probability = 1 - (4/5)10
