This is an example of a random variable that follows Bernoulli distribution.

Whenever you perform n experiments, with probability p of success, the provability of havin ksuccesses is

P(X=k)=\displaystyle\binom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

In this case, you have n=3 (you choose a sample of 3 candidates), p=0.3 (30% of candidates have a degree in economics) and we want k to be at least one.

One way to solve this is to consider that

P(X\geq 1)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)

But it is much quicker to observe that

P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X

And we have

P(X=0)=\displaystyle\binom{3}{0}0.3^0\cdot 0.7^{3}=1\cdot 1\cdot 0.7^3

So, the probability that at least one of them has a degree in economics is

1-0.7^3 = 0.657
