Answer:
[tex]Pr = 0.059049[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]p = 0.9[/tex] --- probability of scoring
Required
Probability that his first miss is his 6th shot
Let q represent the event that he did not score.
Using complement rule:
[tex]q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1[/tex]
The event that his first miss is his 6th is represented as:
p p p p p q ---- That he scoress the first 5 attempts
So, the probability is:
[tex]Pr = p^5 * q[/tex]
[tex]Pr = 0.9^5 * 0.1[/tex]
[tex]Pr = 0.059049[/tex]
