Question

What is the Probability that none of the houses will be burglarized?

**Probability Question:**

*The question states:*

"The probability that a house in an urban area will be burglarized is 4%. If 36 houses are randomly selected, what is the probability that none of the houses will be burglarized?"

**Choices:**
- A. 0.230
- B. 0.040
- C. 0.000
- D. 0.001

**Explanation:**

This problem can be solved using the concept of complementary probability. The probability of a house not being burglarized is 1 - 0.04 = 0.96. To find the probability that none of the 36 houses are burglarized, we calculate \(0.96^{36}\).

The options provide potential probabilities for this scenario. The correct answer will be one of those given, based on calculating the expression above.
