Homework Statement
This is actually from a game that I play online so sorry for the crude question. I have a gun with 3 bullets and 3 targets. The gun randomly shoots the targets. What is the probability that I'll hit target A at least once?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
P(hitting target A at least once)
=1 - P(all 3 bullets hitting target A)
=1 - (1/3)*(1/3)*(1/3)
=1 - 1/9
=8/9
So there is a 8/9 probability of hitting target A at least once. I just wanted to make sure that this is correct.
