If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
a) .3^2 * .7^3 = ?
b) Same as 1, 2 or 3 people agreeing.
for one: .3 * .7^4 = ?
for two: see above
for three: .3^3 * .7^2 = ?
Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.
c) Same as 2, 3, 4, or 5 agreeing.
d) Same as 1 or 2 agreeing.
