A company has 2 photocopy machines. The probability that machine a will break down on a given day is 2%. The probability that a
machine b will break down is 2.5%. What is the probability that both machines will breakdown on a given day?
1 answer:
The two events have independent probabilities.
To get the probability of both of the events happening, you should multiply them:
2% (or 0.02) * 2.5% (or 0.025) = 0.0005 or 0.05%
The probability that both machines will break down on a given day is 0.05%.
