In pokémon there is a move named Focus Blast with 70% accuracy. What is the chance of it missing three times in a row (in percentages), and why?
-
30% chance of missing, so 3 times in a row is 0.3 * 0.3 * 0.3 = 0.027 which is 2.7%.
-
(.3)^3 = 2.7%
It has a 3/10 chance of missing the first time. It has a 3/10 * 3/10 chance of missing the first 2 times, and a 3/10 * 3/10 * 3/10 chance of missing all three times, or 27/1000 = 2.7%

chance of hitting each shot = 0.7
chance of missing each shot = 0.3
chance of missing 3 times in a row = 0.3^3 = 0.027 ... or ... 2.7%
