1 Answer
The probability is approximately
Explanation:
If we have an equal chance of hitting all the numbers on the board, and we are guaranteed that we hit the board, then each number has a 1 in 20 chance of being hit.
Let
Therefore, the probability that 8 darts hit
To find the probability that 8 darts hit the same number, for all numbers
