From the given, we can obtain the following:


P(9)=(1-0.46)^9

Note that we subtracted 46% from 1 since we need to find P(0 female undergraduates take on debt).

Simplify the expression.


\begin{gathered} P(9)=(0.54)^9 \\ \approx0.003904305912 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the probability is approximately 0.004.
