please explain how to do it

Answer 2

Step 1: Change the given percentage to a decimal. In our example:
76% = 0.76.

Step 2:. Multiply the decimal found in step 1 by itself. Repeat for as many times as you are asked to choose an item. For example, if you were to pick 3 items at random, multiply 0.76 by itself 3 times:

0.76 x 0.76 x 0.76 = .4389 (rounded to 4 decimal places).

That’s how to find the probability of a random event!
