A town has 2 fire engines operating independently . the probability that a specific engine is available when needed is 0.96. what is the probability that neither is available when needed

The probability that neither is available when needed

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

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
