Question

40% of the fish are carp and 60% of the fish are bass. What’s the probability that the next three fish I catch are all carp?

Answer 1

• 0.064 or 6.4%

----------------------------

The probability of catching a carp is 40% since 40% of the fish are carp.

We assume the fish is replaced each time so the probability of three carps is:

• P = 0.4³ = 0.064 or 6.4%
