## Binomial Distribution Calculation

Consider a binomial random variable \(X\) that follows the distribution \(X \sim B(n=3, P=2/3)\). Use the binomial distribution formula to compute the following:

### Calculation
The probability \(P(X = 0)\) is:

1. \(\frac{7}{27}\)
2. \(\frac{3}{27}\)
3. \(\frac{14}{27}\)
4. \(\frac{1}{27}\)

### Explanation
To determine \(P(X = 0)\), use the binomial probability formula:
\[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} P^k (1-P)^{n-k} \]

- \( n = 3 \)
- \( k = 0 \)
- \( P = \frac{2}{3} \)

Substitute these values into the formula and solve.
