Bob sets two alarm clocks (battery-powered) to be sure he arises for his monday 8: 00 a. m. accounting exam. there is a 88 percent chance that either clock will wake bob. (a) what is the probability that bob will oversleep? (round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Probability will be 0.0144

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the probability that there is 88 % chance that Bob wake up by either of alarm clock.

Let A Bob wake up by alarm clock 1

So P(A) = 0.88

Let B Bob wake up by alarm clock 2

So P(B) = 0.88

As we know that

Here A and B are independent events and for Bob will oversleep if both clock alarm don't wake up Bob

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
