  1. A \(5\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^8\)
  2. B \(1-5\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^8\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^8\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^4\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1-5\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Probability to hit the target \(=\frac{1}{3}\) Probability to not hit the target \(=1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\) Probability to hit the target atleast twice is…
