SOLUTION

Now from the question,

Probability that a German child recognized SpongeBob is 92% and

Probability that a German child recognized Squidward is 83%

So, Probability (SpongeBob and Squidward) becomes


\begin{gathered} 92\%*83\% \\ (92)/(100)*(83)/(100) \\ 0.92*0.83 \\ =0.7636 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 0.7636 rounded to four decimal places.
