An anti-air craft gun can take a maximum of 4 shots at an enemy plane moving away from it. The probabilities of hitting the plane at the first, second, third and fourth shot are 0.6, 0.5, 0.4 and 0.2 respectively. What is the probability that the gun hit the plane?
  • A0.824
  • B0.904
  • C0.804
  • D0.924
Correct answer: B

Explanation

P(gun hits) = 1 – P(all four shots miss) = 1 – (0.4 × 0.5 × 0.6 × 0.8) = 1 – 0.096 = 0.904.
