Question 3 • College Prep Math B - IC26

Suppose that you ask three friends to go to the mall. Each one has a 0.70 chance of saying yes. What is the probability that all three friends will say they can go to the mall with you?

Answer
A
0.027
B
0.21
C
0.343
D
0.657

Explanation

Assuming each friend’s decision is independent, multiply the chance that each one says yes: 0.70 × 0.70 × 0.70 = 0.343. So the probability that all three say yes is 0.343, choice C.
