The correct rule to use is the multiplication rule for independent events, where the probability of all events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities. Since each selection is independent and the probability of each adult being employed in the tourism industry is 51% or 0.51, the calculation is 0.51 * 0.51 * 0.51 = 0.133.
