If 3% of ties sold in the United States are bow ties, what is the probability of randomly selecting three ties that were purchased and all three were bow ties?

Respuesta :

.03*.03*.03 since 3% are bowties and you have a three percent chance of getting them so the answer would be  .0027%  I'm probably wrong please correct me if I am.

If 3% of ties sold in the United States are bow ties  then the probability of three ties were and all are bow ties is 0.000027.

What is probability?

It is likeliness of happening an event among all the events. The formula of calculating probability is as under:

Probability=number of events/ total number of events.

How to calculate probability?

Number of bow ties in all the ties are 3% means the probability of 1 bow tie is 0.03 if only 1 tie is bought. If three ties are bought randomly then the probability of all three ties among all the ties is 0.03*0.03*0.03

=0.000027.

Hence the probability of randomly selecting three ties that were purchased and all three were bow ties is 0.000027.
