Abstract: In the study of tank weapon systems, the probability distribution of the number of trials required to obtain a preassigned number of successes in a Markov chain with two states arises naturally. This paper studies this distribution, tabulates it for a few values of the parameters, and then discusses the problems of estimating the parameters and of applications to tank-weapon systems.
