Monkeys Typing Shakespeare An often-quoted example of an event of extremely low probability is that a monkey types Shakespeare’s entire play Hamlet by randomly striking keys tin a typewriter. Assume that the typewriter has 48 keys (including the space bar) and that the monkey is equally likely lo hit any key. Find the probability that such a monkey will actually correctly type just the title of the play as his first word. What is the probability that the monkey will type the phrase "To be or not to be" as his first words?
Hitting a Target An archer normally hits the target with probability of 0.6. She hires a new coach for a series of special lessons.
