To determine

The probability of you and your friend both receive the defective player.

Answer to Problem 22PPS

The probability ofyou and your friend both receive the defective player is = $\frac{16}{10000}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Playing defective rate of video game = $4\%$

Calculation:

The probability of getting the defective player for you and your friend in the fraction from is given as follows:

P (You): $\frac{4}{100}$

P (Friend): $\frac{4}{100}$

P (you and your friend) = P (you) + P (friend)

  $\begin{array}{l}=\frac{4}{100}\times \frac{4}{100}\\ =\left(\frac{4.4}{100.100}\right)\\ =\frac{16}{10000}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, P (you and your friend getting defective players)= $\frac{16}{10000}$
