    Probability of multiple tags on a sea turtles pinging within an hour



    There are 7 sea turtles each with a pinging tag on it.
    Turtle 1: 52% of an hour tag is pinging
    Turtle 2: 52% of an hour tag is pinging
    Turtle 3: 17.3% of an hour tag is pinging
    Turtle 4: 17.3% of an hour tag is pinging
    Turtle 5: 17.3% of an hour tag is pinging
    Turtle 6: 17.3% of an hour tag is pinging
    Turtle 7: 17.3% of an hour tag is pinging

    Tags can not ping at the same time during the hour. What is the probability that all 7 seven tags will ping in an hour?

    Is there part of the question I need to fix or add to understand it better?

    Add some more detail. Note that none of us know what you mean when you say something like "pinging tag".
