A study conducted at a certain college shows that the probabkility of the school's graduates finding a job in their chosen field withina year after graduation is 0.64. What is the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his his/her field within a year of graduating?

This is what I tried :

0.64 / 6 = .1067

0.1067 * 6 = .64

This is an incorrect answer and I'm not quite sure the correct process to go about in solving this? Can someone help me?
 
Re: probability

Well the probability that none will find a job is \(\displaystyle (0.36)^6\).
So what is the probability of at least one?
