You are throwing darts at a dart board. You have a 16 chance of striking the bull's-eye each time you throw. If you throw 3 times, what is the probability that you will strike the bull's-eye all 3 times?

Answer:

The probability is
(1)/(216)

Explanation:

It must be 1/6 as 16 is not reasonable.

Given is - You are throwing darts at a dart board. You have a 1/6 chance of striking the bull's-eye each time you throw.

So, if we throw 3 times, the probability that it will strike the bull's-eye all 3 times is given by :


(1)/(6) * (1)/(6) * (1)/(6)

=
(1)/(216)
