A room has three lightbulbs. Each one has a 14%
probability of burning out within the month. Write each probability as a percentage.
What is the probability that all three will burn out within the month?
Each light bulb has a 14% probability of burning out in the month. The probability that all three will burn out within the month can be calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities together:
0.14 x 0.14 x 0.14 = 0.002744 (rounded to 5 decimal places)
Therefore, the probability that all three light bulbs will burn out in the month is 0.2744%, or approximately 0.003 as a percentage.
