Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
P(not passing exam) = \(1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}\)
P(not passing any of the three exams) = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{1}{27}\)
P(not passing exam) = \(1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}\)
P(not passing any of the three exams) = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{1}{27}\)
