A pair of dice is thrown 7 times. If getting a total of 7 is considered a success, what is the probability of
(i) no success? (ii) 6 successes? (iii) at least 6 successes? (iv) at most 6 successes?
Let the shooter fire n times.
Now,
Now, P(hitting the target at least once) > 0.99 (given)
or ...(1)
The minimum value of n to satisfy the inequality (1) is 4.
∴ the shooter must fire 4 times.
