Mr. Garcia notes that in 84% of the papers his former students have turned in, they cited their sources
incorrectly. He plans to go through these papers at random to find one with incorrect citations for a lesson on

number of papers Mr. Garcia selects until he finds one with the sources cited incorrectly.
Find the probability that the 3rd paper Mr. Garcia selects will be the first with the sources cited incorrectly.
You may round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
P(N = 3) =
