Answer: 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The probability that a student graduating from Suburban State University has student loans to pay off after graduation is =0.60

Then the probability that a student graduating from Suburban State University does not have student loans to pay off after graduation is = $1-0.6=0.4$

Since all the given event is independent for all students.

Then , the probability that neither of them has student loans to pay off after graduation is given by :-

$(0.4)\times(0.4)=0.16$

Hence, the probability that neither of them has student loans to pay off after graduation =0.16
