In the 200 planes, you count the number of bullets and find that of the total no. of bullets that hit these 200 planes, 80% hit in the fuselage, 5% hit the engine and the other 15 percent is distributed among all the other parts. Now, if you want to armor the plane, but can put armor only in some places, where would you put it?
