the probability of one stapler jamming on a given try is 005

the probability of one stapler jamming on a given try is 0.05. the probability of another stapler jamming on a given try is 0.06. What is the probability that when each is used once ,both will jam?

Solution

The probability of one stapler jamming on a given try p1= 0.05

The probability of another stapler jamming on a given try p2= 0.06

The probability that when each is used once ,both will jam,P=p1*p2

P=0.05*0.06

P=0.003
