Math probability question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-06-12] [Hit: ]
0.72*0.72*0.72*0.72*0.72 = 19.......
Okay so on my exam review for math I have a question that says "a nationwide survey shows that 72 percent of students like to eat fruit at every meal. If 6 students were chosen at random, what is the probability that each of the 6 students likes to eat fruit at every meal?" I know the answer is 13.9% I just don't know the steps you take to get there. I'm usually extremely good and math and this is an easy question, I just can't seem to figure it out. thank you so much!

0.72*0.72*0.72*0.72*0.72 = 19.3% <-------
