Two students, Jim and Joan are registered for the same class and attend independently to each other, Jim 91,9% of the time and Joan 84.3% of the time. What is the probability that on any given day
a) at least on of them will be in class?
P(at least one) = 1 - P(neither in class)
= 1 - 0.081*0.157 = 0.9873
--------------------------------------
b) neither will be in class?
P(neither) = 0.081*0.157 = 0.0127
