Given:

The probability of drawing a blue cube from a hat is 80%.

To find:

The probability of drawing 4 blue cubes in a row.

Solution:

Let E be the event of drawing a blue cube from a hat.


P(E)=80\%


P(E)=(80)/(100)


P(E)=0.8

We need to find the probability of drawing 4 blue cubes in a row.

Let as consider each cube is replaced after being drawn. So, that probability of drawing a blue cube from a hat remains same.

Probability of drawing 4 blue cubes in a row is


P(E)* P(E)* P(E)* P(E)=(P(E))^4


=(0.8)^4


=0.4096

Therefore, the required probability is 0.4096.
