A policeman fires 6 bullets at a burglar. The probability that the burglar will be hit by a bullet is 0.6. what is the probability that burglar is still unhurt?

The probability that the burglar will be hit by a bullet is 0.6.


Using Bernoulli’s Trial we have,


P(Success=x) = nCx.px.q(n-x)


x=0, 1, 2, ………n and q = (1-p), n =6


p = 0.6 q =0.4


The probability that the burglar is unhurt is,


6C0(0.6)0(0.4)6


⇒ 0.004096
