Default Re: Hit percentage rant

I'm not talking about a single shot. I know that this is 1% all the time (assuming the percentages dont change over time which in the game they do, but in the situation I'm talking about they remained 1%). I'm talking about the possibility of taking 3 shots and score a hit every time. This is 1/100*1/100*1/100=1/100^3. For the coin example it's like I'm flipping the coin 3 times in a row and want to know the probability of getting heads (or tails) all 3 times. Admittedly, it's been a while since I fundled with probablity theory, so I'll look into a book I have to see if I'm talking Bravo Sierra...
