Hi, there--

Problem:
Percent of Cropland
Alabama- 8%
Florida- 7%
Indiana- 58%

If an acre of land is chosen at random from each of the three states, what is the probability 
that all three acres will be cropland? 

Answer:
The probability of randomly choosing a cropland acre in Alabama is 0.08.
The probability of choosing a cropland acre in Florida is 0.07.
The probability of choosing a cropland acre in Indiana is 0.58.

The probability of randomly choosing all three acres in cropland is
(0.8)(0.7)(0.58) = 0.3248
