Question 991119: Suppose I pick a jelly bean at random from a box containing four red and eight blue ones. I record the color and put the jelly bean back in the box.
If I do this three times, what is the probability of getting a blue jelly bean each time? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Just like the other question you asked about getting two reds on successive draws. This time three independent events, so the overall probability is the product of the three individual probabilities.
