Answer 1

The probability that both customer representatives are on the phone at the same time is 72.25%.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There is an 85% probability that a customer service representative will be on the phone with a customer at any given time.

There are 2 customer service representatives.

To find the probability that both customer representatives are on the phone at the same time, we multiply the independent probabilities together.

0.85×0.85=0.7225

Hence, the probability that both customer representatives are on the phone at the same time is 72.25%.

Answer 2

To find the aggregate probability of two independent events occurring, we multiply the independent probabilities together. So, if the chance of each agent being on the phone is 0.85, then we multiply 0.85*0.85 to find the chance of them both being on the phone. Doing with, we find that there is a 72.25% probability of both of the agents being on the phone simultaneously.
