Answer:

The probability that she will escape detection for at least three years is P=0.343.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jody has a 30% chance each year of having her tax returns audited, she also has 70% chance each year of escaping detection.

The probability of this happening 3 years in a row is:

$P_n=q^n=0.7^3=0.343$
