Answer: The required probability is $\dfrac{8}{125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of spruce tree = 20

Number of maple tree = 50

Total trees = 70

We need to find the experimental probability that the next tree Colleen to get a spruce tree.

So, the probability would be :

$(\dfrac{20}{50})^3=(\dfrac{2}{5})^3=\dfrac{8}{125}$

Hence, the required probability is $\dfrac{8}{125}$
