The shooter will hit the target even if he hits it once or twice or thrice or all four times in the four shots that he takes.So, the only case where the shooter will not hit the target is when he fails to hit the target even in one of the four shots that he takes.The probability that he will not hit the target in one shot = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4Therefore, the probability that he will not hit the target in all the four shots = 3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 = 81/256Hence, the probability that he will hit the target at least in one of the four shots = 1 - 81/256 = 175/256 .
