Find the probability that 2 friends never agree on two seperate topics out of 100. The probability that they agree on any given topic is 0.02, and ifthey did agree they would consider it a coincidence, and any two topics are independent events.
=============
P(they do not agree on any given topic) = 0.98
P(they do not agree on any of 100 topics) = 0.98^100 = 0.1326...
===============
