theory:  since every time  prob  of  success is  same  n  all  events  r  independent  it  clearly  indicates that we shud go for  binomial  trials thus
 
p[x>=3]
  p3  + p4  + p5
 
so
 
3 times hit:

5C3*(3/4)3(1/4)2

4 times hit:

5C4*(3/4)4(1/4)1

5 times hit:

(3/4)5

addding all these we get required P

P=5C3*(3/4)3(1/4)2+5C4*(3/4)4(1/4)1+(3/4)5
 
 
hope its one  of the  best  ans
 
plz  rate for  my  efforts
 
cheers!!!!!!
