The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Year = 2000

Proportion of people born after 2000, p = 40%

Sample size = 2

The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is calculated as:

P = (1- p)^2

Substitute the known values in the above equation

P = (1 - 40%)^2

Evaluate the exponent

P = 0.36

Hence, the chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36
