150. Two shooters shoot at a target. The probability of a miss with one shot for the first shooter is 0.2, and for the second shooter it is 0.4. Find the most probable number of volleys in which there will be no hits on the target, if the shooters will make 25 volleys.
Solution. Misses by the shooters are independent events, so the multiplication theorem of probabilities of independent events applies. The probability that both shooters will miss in one volley, $p=0.2 \cdot 0.4=0.08$.

Since the product $n p=25 \cdot 0.08=2$ is an integer, the most probable number of volleys in which there will be no hits, $k_{0}=n p=2$.
