If the probability of a marksman hitting a target is 90% and he shoots 100 bullets at the target, which of the following must be true
there is a 90% probability that the marksman will hit the target half of the time . ?
There is a 50% probability that the marksman will hit the target 90% of the time ?
The marksman is more likely to hit the target 90 times than any other number of times?
None of the above are true?
answer)
Probability is given by favorable/total
Now it is given that there is 90% probability that he hits the target
It is given that he shoots 100 bullets
So, favorable/100 = 0.9 (90%)
Favorable = 90
That is
The marksman is more likely to hit the target 90 times than any other number of times?

1. The probability of a man not hitting the target at a shooting range is .6. A success is defined as hitting the target. If he shoots 12 times, what is the probability that he misses the target just once? 2. The probability of a man not hitting the target at a shooting range is .6. A success is defined as hitting the target. If he shoots 12 times, what is the probability that he does hit the target at...
A marksman hits a target 0.91 of the time. He fires 10 shots at the target. Find the probability that he make no more than 8 hits.
Two marksmen shoot at a target simultaneously. Shooter A is known to have a 70% chance of hitting the target on any attempt. Person B has 40% accuracy. After the target is hit for the first time, it is revealed that A shot 5 shots while B shot 12. What is the probability that it was A who hit the target? What is the probability that person B hit the target? (Assume that accuracy of the shots remain the same...
In the Hunger Games, Katniss shoots an arrow at an apple in a pig’s mouth using a longbow. After careful analysis of the scene, my daughter and I estimate she is standing 12 m away and 3.5 m below her target. A typical shot from a longbow reaches speeds of 55 m/s. a) At what angle above the horizontal must she fire the arrow? There are two solutions (what do they correspond to?) and which one would be the one...
Suppose we do 100 draws, with replacement, from an urn containing an unknown mixture of black and white balls. All 100 draws come out black. Which of the following is correct? Group of answer choices The laws of probability are consistent with any of the above conclusions; it depends on the prior probabilities. According to the laws of probability, the next draw is equally likely to be black vs. white. According to the laws of probability, the next draw is...
Consider a binomial probability distribution, it is unusual for the number of successes to be less than__________ or greater than____________. a. Fill in the blanks above. b. For a binomial experiment with 100 trials for which the probability of success on a single trial is 0.2, is it unusual to have more than five successes? Show all work and explain. c. If you were simply guessing on a multiple-choice exam consisting of 6 questions with 3 possible responses for each...
Which of the following statements concerning probability sampling is not true? a. The target population defines the research objective. b.

Agambler believes that he has found a coin that is biased in favor of heads, in other words, when the coin is tossed will land heads side up more than half the time. To test his hypothesis he tosses the coin 100 times and observes 56 heads. He uses these results to conduct a hypothesis test getting a P-value of 0.115. He intends to use a 0.05 level of significance. Which statement best describes a Type 1 error in this...
