If the probability of hitting a target when throwing a dart is five out of seven and if six darts are thrown what is the probability of getting exactly four hits?

Compute the probability of any specific sequence of hits and misses, such as HMHHHM, by multiplying the probabilities of each throw: 5/7 for each hit ("H") and 1 - 5/7 = 2/7 for each miss ("M"). Because there are four hits (and therefore two misses), the multiplication includes four factors of 5/7 and two factors of 2/7; briefly, the product equals 5^4 * 2^2 / 7^6. There are 15 distinct sequences of four hits and two misses. Therefore the probability of getting some sequence of exactly four hits equals 15 times this previous value: 15 * 5^4 * 2^2 / 7^6 = 37500 / 117649 = about 31.87%.


How do you evaluate accuracy and precision?

Accuracy is hitting the same, correct point, sort of like hitting the bulls eye of a target. Precision is less stringent, as long as your data points are clustered together (it's also known as the level of uncertainty or variance), it is deemed precise. Scientifically speaking, experiments have to be both accurate and precise.

How do you determine the probability that four marksmen will all hit a target if each marksman usually hits the target 80 percent of the time?

You can calculate this probability by multiplying the individual probabilities of each marksman hitting the target: 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8. When you multiple these probabilities, you get 0.4096, or 40.96%. This is the probability that all four marksmen will hit the target.
