Question 14 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)

Suppose that 71% of the surface of the Earth is covered in water, and a random number generator uses latitude and longitude to select a random location on the Earth. If 6 such locations are generated, what is the probability that all 6 locations are in water?

Answer
A
0.0006
B
0.1281
C
0.8719
D
0.9994

Explanation

Each location has a 0.71 probability of being in water. Assuming the six selections are independent, the probability that all six are in water is 0.71⁶ ≈ 0.1281, so the correct choice is 0.1281.
