bi) Hits , Hits and Hits. = 1/3*1/3*1/3 = 1/27

bii) The probability that she never hits is 2/3*2/3*2/3 = 8/27

1 - 8/27 = 19/27

c)i) Hits in 4th throw = Doesnt hit, Doesnt Hit, Doesnt Hit, Hits.

Doesnt hit = 1- 1/4 = 3/4

3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 * 1/4 = 27/256


cii) This means that he "Doesnt hit" till the nth throw. Till the nth throw means that he doesnt hit for the first (n-1)th throw.

     LIke (ci), u multiply 3/4 for (n-1) times and multiply it with 1/4

Therefore, (3/4)(n-1) * 1/4
