Answer:

0.186

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the probability of not win either project first we have to calculate the probability of wining of project A or project B which is shown below:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A & B)

= 0.70 + 0.38 - 0.70 × 0.38

= 1.08 - 0.266

= 0.814

P(neither) = 1 - P(A or B)

= 1 - 0.814

= 0.186

We simply applied the above formula so that the probability of the company that it does not win either project comes
