3. (Independent Trials). A rifleman hits (H) his target with probability 2/5, and hence misses (M) with probability 3/5. He fires four times. (i) Write down all the elements of the event A that the man hits the target exactly twice (e.g. the samples MMHH and MHMH belong to A, but the samples HHHM and MMMH don't) and find P(A). (ii) Assuming independence of shots, find the probability that the man hits the target at least once.
