Probability density for bullet hitting a target

boshir_bd · Nov 13, 2010

The probability density for bullet hitting a target is given by f(x,y)=C.Exp(-(x^2+y^2)/2sigma square. What is the value of C. Sketch the curves of constant density in the XY plane. What kind of curve are they? What are the most probable hitting areas?
