Answer:
The probability that neither is available when needed
[tex]P(A n B)^{c} = 0.04[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A town has 2 fire engines operating independently
Given data the probability that a specific engine is available when needed is 0.96.
Let A and B are the two events of two fire engines
given P(A and B) = 0.96 ( given two engines are independent events so you have to select A and B)
Independent events : P( A n B) = P(A) P(B)
The probability that neither is available when needed
[tex]P(A n B)^{c} = 1- P(A n B)[/tex]
[tex]P(A n B)^{c} = 1- 0.96 = 0.04[/tex]
