Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let be the probability of hitting the target and be the probability of missing the target.
Number of trials,
Let be the random variable representing the number of hits. The probability of hitting the target at least twice is given by:
Using the binomial distribution formula :
Substituting these values:
P(X ≥ 2) = 1 - \left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)^
