Dear student
Let A be the event four shots hitThen P(A)=14PA¯=1-P(A)=1-14=34P(bird killed)=1-P(none of 4 shots hit)=1-34×34×34×34=1-81256=256-81256=175256

Solve this:
142. A man can kill a bird once in four shots. On this assumption he fires four shots. Then the probability that the bird is killed, is
(1) $\frac{81}{256}$ (2) $\frac{111}{256}$
(3) $\frac{144}{256}$ (4) $\frac{175}{256}$
