Since there is a 95% chance that you get two printers right, then you simply square the decimal equivalent which is .95 (Hence, you do .95^2). You will get .9025 (or 90.25%). 

For letter b, you simply subtract .9025 from 1. 
ans = 1-.9025
ans = .0975 (or 9.75%)

So the answer to B) would be there is a 9.75% chance the probability of a shipment can be rejected.
