A wildlife biology crew is tagging deer in California for a census.If, on a statewide basis, 40% of deer are males (bucks), what is the probability that the crew will randomly and independently tag three females (does) in a row, assuming the area's deer population is representative of the entire state? (Assume an infinite population.)

Question

The probability of tagging a female deer is 60% (100% - 40%). Since the events are independent, the probability of tagging three females in a row is 0.6 * 0.6 * 0.6 = 0.216.
