Answer:

The probability of getting unsatisfactory piston of machine 1 and satisfactory machine of piston 2 is 0.072

Explanation:

p(E) = p(unsatisfactory Pistons of machine 1) = 84/700

p(F) = p(Satisfactory Pistons of machine 2) = 414/690

p(E and F) =

p(unsatisfactory piston of machine 1 and satisfactory machine of piston 2)

p(E and F) = p(E) . p(F)

= 84/700 . 414/690

= 0.072
