    The probability that at least two of the missiles hit the arsenal:

    P (x ≥ 2) = P (x = 2) + P (x = 3)

    P (x = 2) = 0.75 · 0.85 · 0.1 + 0.85 · 0.9 · 0.25 + 0.75 · 0.9 · 0.15 =

    = 0.06375 + 0.10125 + 0.19125 = 0.35625

    P (x = 3) = 0.75 · 0.85 · 0.9 = 0.57375

    P (x ≥ 2) = 0.35625 + 0.57375 = 0.93

    Answer:

    The probability is 0.93 or 93%.
