Model 3: In a darts competition, a turn consists of throwing a dart 5 times. A darts


player believes that the probability that he will hit the bull's eye on the first throw
of a dart is 0.3. If he misses the bull's eye on the first throw, then the probability
of hitting on the second throw is 0.5. For any further throws of the dart, the
probability of hitting the bull's eye is 0.75. X is the number of hits that he makes
in 5 throws of the dart.
