Question

As part of her MBA program, Karen applied for three different Spring Break outreach projects, each of which selects its students by a random lottery of its applicants.. If the probability of her being accepted to each individual project is 20%, what is the probability that Karen will be accepted to at least one project?

Answer 1

0.488

Explanation:

-Given the probability of success is 20%.

-The events are independent of each other, therefore the probability of being accepted in at least one is equivalent to p=1-P(none)

`p=1-(1-0.2)^3\\\\=(61)/(125)=0.488`

Hence, the probability that she's accepted in at least one is 0.488
