Let's say you are trying to get 3 7's in a row on a slot machine. Each 7 occuring is independent of the other so that if one 7 hits, the 2nd one is not more likely or less likely but the same.
If the 1st one has a 40 % chance of hitting, 2nd one has 60 % , and 3rd one has 80 % chance then would is the % chance that all 3 occur at the same time ?
Is it .4 * .6 * .8 = .192 so 19.2 % ?
Thanks.
