Question 848604: The probability of a team scoring a home run in a softball game is 1/6. If the team plays four games, what is the probability of scoring a home run in every game?

IN statistics 'and' generally means 'multiply'

The probability of a team scoring a home run in a softball game is 1/6.

P( HR highlight_green%28and%29 HR highlight_green%28and%29HR highlight_green%28and%29 HR) = %281%2F6%29%281%2F6%29%281%2F6%29%281%2F6%29
