Answer:

0.001

Explanation:

We are given that

Suppose you have the probability of winning with a scratch -off lottery ticket,P(A) =
(1)/(10)

Probability:It is defined as the possibility of an event that is occurred or not.

It is obtained by dividing the number of favourable cases with total number of cases.

The formula of finding out the probability of an event

P(E)=
(Number\;of\;favourable\; cases)/(Total\;number\;of\;cases)

We have to find the probability of winning 3 lottery

The probability of winning all three tickets,
P(A AA)=P(A)\cdotP(A)\cdotP(A)

Therefore, the probability of winning all 3 lottery =
(1)/(10)* (1)/(10)* (1)/(10)

The probability of winning all three tickets,P(A AA)=
(1)/(1000)

The probability of winning all three tickets,P(A AA)

=0.001

Answer:0.001
