Answer:

[tex]P(Hits) = 0.70[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for result

Required

Determine the probability of hitting the target

This calculated using:

[tex]P(Hits) = \frac{n(Hits)}{n(Throws)}\\[/tex]

[tex]P(Hits) = \frac{84}{120}[/tex]

[tex]P(Hits) = 0.70[/tex]

Hence, the probability of hitting the target is 0.70
