Answer:

Explanation:

P(hit a bulleye) = 95% = 0.95

P(hit 2x bulleyes) = 0.95*0.95

P(hit 76x bulleyes) = 0.95^76

= 0.02

So she will hit 76 bulleyes on average every 1/0.02 = 50 times.

Total number of throws = 50 x 76

= 3800

Given that,

Natasha can hit a bullseye about 95% of the time

we've to find the number of throws will she

need in order for her to hit 76 bullseyes

for that, we'll divide 76 by 95%


\huge \rightarrow \: 76 / (95)/(100) = (76)/((95)/(100) ) \\


\huge \rightarrow76 * (100)/(95)


\huge \rightarrow80

Hence, she need 80 bullseye in order for her to hit 76 bullseyes
