Question

The probability that the first production line stops is 0.5 while the probability that the second production line stops is 0.22 . If the production lines work independently of each other what is the probability that both lines are working at any given time ?

Answer 1

0.11

Explanation:

The events are independent, so:

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B)

P = 0.5 × 0.22

P = 0.11
