2
Three persons A, B, and C fire at a target in turn, starting with A.
Their probabilities of hitting the target are $0.4,\ 0.3,\ 0.2$ respectively.
The probability of exactly two hits is:
Solution
**Solution:**
Let $A,B,C$ denote hitting events.
Probability of exactly 2 hits:
\[
P = P(A,B,\bar{C}) + P(A,\bar{B},C) + P(\bar{A},B,C)
\]
$= (0.4)(0.3)(0.8) + (0.4)(0.7)(0.2) + (0.6)(0.3)(0.2)$
$= 0.096 + 0.056 + 0.036 = 0.188$
$\boxed{\text{Answer: (B) 0.188}}$
