Explanation / Answer

b)probability of getting two hits in a particular game = 0.268*0.268 = 0.071824

c) probability of not getting any hits in a game = (1-0.268)(1-0.268) = 0.535824

d)probability of getting at least one hit = 1-probability of not getting any hits in a game = 1-0.535824 = 0.464176
