Detailed Solution

The minimum number of rounds required in order to have more than 50% chance to hit the target atleast once is

p=110,q=9101qn>12qn>12

910n<12 then least n=7

When two attempts are made, the probability that both are failures is 910910=81100

When two attempts are made, the probability of hitting the target at least once is1910910=19100

When two attempts are made, the probability to hit the target exactly one time is 110×910+910×110=18100
