Answer:

Probability that a car need to be repaired once = 20% = 0.20

Probability that a car need to be repaired twice = 8% = 0.08

Probability that a car need to be repaired three or more = 2% = 0.02

a) If you own two cars what is the probability that neither will need repair?

Probability that a car need to be repaired once , twice and thrice or more= 0.20+0.08+0.02=0.3

Probability that car need no repair = 1-0.3=0.7

Neither car will need repair= $0.7 \times 0.7=0.49$

b) both will need repair?

Probability both will need repair = $0.3 \times 0.3=0.09$

c)at least one car will need repair

Neither car will need repair= $0.7 \times 0.7=0.49$

Probability that at least one car will need repair= 1-0.49 = 0.51
