In a small city, approximately 23% of those eligible are called for jury duty in any one calendar year. People are selected for jury duty at random from those eligible, and the same individual cannot be called more than once in the same year. What is the probability that an eligible person in this city is selected in both of the next 2 years? What is the probability that an eligible person in this city is selected in all of the next 3 years?
