A marksman has a probability of 0 .334 of hitting a certain long -range target.
00:10
What's the probability that it takes three shots for the marksman to hit the long -range target? so if 0 .334 is the probability of hitting, then in three shots, that means we missed, missed, then hit.
00:26
So we have 0 .666 -6, then times 0 .334.
00:34
And that would be 0 .148.

Question two, a track team is participating in a race with three other teams.
00:42
There are 50 total athletes.
00:46
In the race, if the team has 15 athletes, what is the probability that their athletes will come in first, second, and third in the race? so we have two permutations to calculate here.
00:59
We have all 50 athletes.
01:01
I'm going to erase this and move it down a little bit.
01:06
So we have all 50 athletes, and this is, since its order matters, this will be a permutation.
01:11
And we want to find the probability that the three on our team got the first three spots...
