The probability that a person hits a target is 0.5. What is the probability of <strong>AT LEAST</strong> one hit in 4 shots?
- A. \frac{1}{8}
- B. \frac{1}{16}
- C. \frac{15}{16} ✓
- D. \frac{7}{8}
Correct Answer: C. \frac{15}{16}
Explanation
The probability of missing a shot is 1 - 0.5 = 0.5. The probability of missing all 4 shots is (0.5)^4 = \frac{1}{16}. The probability of hitting at least once is 1 - P(\text{miss all}) = 1 - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{15}{16}.
