In a sample survey of a village, the probability that a farmer is in debt is 0.60. What is the probability that three randomly selected farmers are <strong>ALL</strong> in debt (assume independence of events)?
- A. 0.000216
- B. 0.064
- C. 0.216 ✓
- D. 0.512
Correct Answer: C. 0.216
Explanation
Since the events are independent, the probability that all three farmers are in debt is the product of their individual probabilities: 0.60 \times 0.60 \times 0.60 = 0.216.
