The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that a man hits a target every time he attempts to hit it in 5 trials, given that the probability of hitting the target in a single trial is \( \frac{3}{4} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Probability of Hitting the Target**: The probability of hitting the target in a single trial is given as \( P(H) = \frac{3}{4} \). 2. **Determine the Number of Trials**: The man makes 5 trials. So, the number of trials \( n = 5 \). 3. **Calculate the Probability of Hitting the Target Every Time**: To find the probability that he hits the target every time in all 5 trials, we need to raise the probability of hitting the target in a single trial to the power of the number of trials. This is calculated as follows: \[ P(\text{hitting every time}) = P(H)^n = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^5 \] 4. **Calculate \( \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^5 \)**: \[ \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^5 = \frac{3^5}{4^5} = \frac{243}{1024} \] 5. **Final Result**: Therefore, the probability that he will hit the target every time in 5 trials is: \[ P(\text{hitting every time}) = \frac{243}{1024} \] ### Answer: The probability that he will hit the target every time he attempts is \( \frac{243}{1024} \). ---
