Question

sixty percent of clowns aren’t funny. if you randomly encounter three different clowns, what is the probability that none of them are funny?

Answer 1

The probability that none of the three clowns are funny is 21.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that none of the three clowns are funny can be calculated using the concept of independent events. Since each clown encounter is independent of the others and has a 60% chance of not being funny, the probability of none of them being funny can be found by multiplying the individual probabilities:

P(None of the clowns are funny) = 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.216 or 21.6%
