To find the probability that all 6 adults selected at random from the town have health insurance, we need to multiply the probability that each individual adult has health insurance.
Since 70% of adults in the town have health insurance, the probability that one individual adult has health insurance is 70% or 0.7.
Therefore, the probability that all 6 randomly selected adults have health insurance is:
0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 = 0.7^6 = 0.1176 or 11.76%.
In one town, 70% of adults have health insurance. What is the probability that 6 adults selected at random from the town all have health insurance
