A room has three lightbulbs. Each one has a 10% probability of burning out within the month. Write the probability as a percentage rounded to one decimal place. What is the probability that all three will burn out within the month? "If something can go wrong, it will go wrong." This funny saying is called Murphy's law. Let's interpret this to mean "If something can go wrong, there is a very high probability that it will eventually go wrong." Suppose...
