Answer:


Probability = 0.7374

Given

Represent the probability that a student has a phone with p


p = 97\%

Required

Determine the probability that 10 has

This is calculated as thus:


Probability = p^n

Where n = 10


Probability = (97\%)^(10)


Probability = 0.97^(10)


Probability = 0.73742412689


Probability = 0.7374 --- Approximated
