A military target must be hit by a missile before troops can move in. The probability a missile hits a target is.2. What is the probability the number of missiles launched until the target is hit is more than 4?

Probability of Hitting a Target The probability that an archer hits the target is $p=0.9,$ so the probability that he misses the target is $q=0.1 .$ It is known that in this situation the probability that the archer hits the target exactly $r$ times in $n$ attempts is given by the term containing $p^{\prime}$ in the binomial expansion of $(p+q)^{n}$ . Find the probability that the archer hits the target exactly three times in five attempts.
