7. You are in charge of a construction project and must cancel work whenever it rains. 3 days (not necessarily concurrent) have been selected to be the days when an expensive crane and operator are to be rented. At least 50% of the cost of the crane and operator fee must be paid, even if it rains, to reserve their services. The probability that it rains on a certain day is 0.54 (which is independent of whether it rained on any other day). What is the probability that it rains all 3 days?
