Remember that, for independent events, the probability that both occurr is the product of the individual probabilities.

a) Probability of being contacted: 78% = 0.78

Probaility of refusing: 1 - 22% = 1 -0.22 = 0.78

Combined probability: 0.78*0.78 = 0.6084

b) The probability of failing to contact or making contact and not geeting them to agree 1 - the probability of contacting and getting them to agree.

The probabilityof contacting and getting them to agree is 0.78*0.22 = 0.1716

The the answer to this question is 1 - 0.1716 = 0.8284
