Kindly show your complete solution. (Handwritten if possible) thank you.

3.14 A structure with a design life of 50 yr is planned for a site
where high-intensity earthquakes may occur with a return period
of 100 yr. The strueture is designed to have a 0.99 probability
of not suffering damage within its design life. Damage effects
between earthquakes are statistically independent.
(a) If the occurrence of high-intensity earthquakes at the site
is modeled by a Bernoulli sequence, what is the probability of
damage to the structure under a single earthquake?
(b) Using the damage probability to a single earthquake from
Part (a), what would be the probability of damage to the structure
in the next 20 yr, assuming that the occurrences of earthquakes
constitute a Poisson process?
