The acceptance of applicants by American agencies can be modeled as a Bernoulli Random Process. Suppose that the acceptance rate of the American agency Alpha is 40%. Suppose further that the acceptance rate of the American agency Beta is 30%. Assume that the applicants are going in the agency one-by-one, determine the probability that the American agency Beta will accept for the 4th time on the 10th applicant. (Express your answer in 4 decimal places)
