Question

The probability of a golden retriever catching a tennis ball in mid-air is 78%. Find the probability that a golden retriever catches three tennis balls in mid-air.

Answer 1

To find the probability, we do 78% to the third power, which is 0.474552 or when rounded 0.475

Answer 2

Answer:

53.1441%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming each event is independent of one another, the probability of catching the tennis ball three times in a row is

(0.81)^3 = (0.81)*(0.81)*(0.81) = 0.531441

This converts to 53.1441%
