Solution

The correct option is B 0.784
probability that an event happens in one trial of an experiment =0.4
Probability of that event not happening in one trial =10.4=0.6
Three independent trials of the experiment are performed.

probability that the event happens at least once in three trails
= 1 - Probability of that event not happening in all three trials

=1(0.6)×(0.6)×(0.6)
=10.216
=0.784

Hence, option B is correct.
