The gunner on a small assault boat fires three missiles at an attacking plane. Each has a 20% chance of being on target. If two or more of the shells find their mark, the plane will crash. At the same time, the pilot of the plane fires 4 air-to-surface rockets, each of which has a 0.1 chance of destroying the boat. Would you rather be on the plane or the boat? (That is, please calculate and compare the probability that the plane will crash and the probability that the boat will be destroyed.)
