Problem
A construction firm bids on two different con- tracts. Let E1 be the event that the bid on the first con- tract is successful, and define E2 analogously for the sec- ond contract. Suppose that P(E1) = .4 and P(E2) = .3 and that E1 and E2 are independent events.
a. Calculate the probability that both bids are successful (the probability of the event E1 and E2).
b. Calculate the probability that neither bid is successful (the probability of the event (not E1) and (not E2)).
