The probability that the consumer will go to Krusty's for his third fast food experience is also 36%.

What is the probability that his third fast food experience will be at Krusty's?

In probability, when events are independent, it means that the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the occurrence of another event. In this scenario, the consumer's choice of a fast-food place for each outing is considered an independent event.

Therefore, the probability that his third fast food experience will be at Krusty's is also 36%.
